It’s a doom day!
Dow Jones Industrial Average dropped to its lowest level since 2006. As I predicted last week, it finally dropped below 11,500. I should have written my prediction on this blog last week and become an "instant Wall Street analyst"… just kidding. 
According to Wall Street Journal, it is the worst June since Great Depression.

It’s no secret any more that after quitting Nokia, I work for Symbian as subcontractor (external employee). Yesterday, Nokia announced that they acquire Symbian. The press release indicates that most Symbian’s internal employees will become Nokia’s employees. A few of them will be transferred to a new foundation that was also announced yesterday, Symbian Foundation.
What is going to happen to me then? Will I lose my job? Will I work as subcontractor for Nokia? I don’t know. I am still digesting the announcement until today. Worse, it seems most people have no idea what’s going to happen.
With the recent mass exodus from Yahoo! (TechCrunch mentioned 114 executives so far), someone has created a template for Yahoo! resignation letter. I am not working for Yahoo!, but it is quite fun to play with the template. You have check boxes where you can select the words for your resignation letter.
PS: I am actually quite sad to see the end of Yahoo! has to be like this. They used to be a very good company. They started one of the first search engines in the world. They were one of the most successful IPO companies in the dot-com era. They have made thousands of people become so rich. To be honest, I used to be a fan of Jerry Yang.
Well good luck for Jerry Yang and co.
