Speed test

It seems all the cool kids are doing it so here's mine, results from SpeedTest.net.

Fear, uncertainty, doubt (FUD)

(EDIT: planet.maemo.org I apologize for the seemingly personal post but it has other connotations, honest).

It would be a little pompous of me to say, today we should all be living in a fearful community where as part of the employed masses, we should contemplate our job futures. But with the same token it would predominately be true. Every day it seems we are bombarded with news that company x, multi-conglomerate y, is venting a whole host of talent that are shell shocked at being relieved of their livelihood. A whole host of talent seemingly gone to short-term waste and although we are sympathetic, its a little 'off the radar'.
