User Experience Engineering

I've seen this a few times in the past 3 weeks. Thought it was an intermittent glitch, connection problem, CDN. Today, I've seen it in Chrome and Firefox (FireBug enabled and Firebug disabled).

The FireBug-using developer types can see that LinkedIn's CDN, and the JavaScript that calls it, are in a world of hurt.
