Just found this from StumbleUpon.org. It’s cheeky and hilarious. Just read on and you will get de-mystified. It’s kind of sarcastic but that is the point of it. It’s a story about someone who have been rejected so many times and finally he stood up for his right. Here is the letter,Â Originally found from StumbleUpon and the actual website is here. Maybe someday we might also need to write letter like this one.

The Ultimate Rejection Letter
Herbert A. Millington
Chair – Search Committee
412A Clarkson Hall, Whitson University
College Hill, MAÂ 34109
Dear Professor Millington,
Thank you for your letter of March 16.Â After careful consideration, I
regret to inform you that I am unable to accept your refusal to offer me
an assistant professor position in your department.
This year I have been particularly fortunate in receiving an unusually
large number of rejection letters.Â With such a varied and promising field
of candidates, it is impossible for me to accept all refusals.
Despite Whitson’s outstanding qualifications and previous experience in
rejecting applicants, I find that your rejection does not meet my needs at
this time.Â Therefore, I will assume the position of assistant professor
in your department this August.Â I look forward to seeing you then.
Best of luck in rejecting future applicants.
Sincerely,
Chris L. Jensen

Enjoy and don’t forget to leave your Ultimate Comments. Who can benefit from this letter? – general people, couples and employees around the world.

Smallville Season 8 and Heroes Season 3 Returns on September

My favorite TV Series Smallville and Heroes is starting up new seasons in September 2008. There are a lot of cast changes in Smallville (Season 8 and most probably the last season) and some in Heroes (Season 3) too. Here are some story spoilers and news from BuddyTV.com

Smallville: The CW is a network in desperate need of viewers, especially after their ratings fell even further during the writers’ strike.Â Considering that Smallville is one of the most popular scripted shows on the network, they simply can’t afford to lose it.Â Besides, Tom Welling is already signed on for an eighth year, making renewal an easy decision. However, not every actor is signed on for Smallville season 8, and that’s where the problems come in. Kristin Kreuk, Allison Mack, and Michael Rosenbaum were only contracted for seven seasons, which means they had the option to leave the show if they desired to.Â The CW attempted to renegotiate deals with all of these actors, but Kreuk and Rosenbaum decided not to return full-time.Â Mack, however, did sign up for the entire year, and may even direct an episode as well. Can Smallville survive without Lex and Lana? ‘Smallville’ Season 8 to Lose Cast Members.

My 2 Cents: It’s time to bring Clark Kent to a new level.

Heroes : The writers’ strike completely changed Heroes volume 3. (more…)

Google Chrome – Possibilities, Developers Point of View & The Bare Truth

Recently the Google’s Browser Chrome has been released. As a web application developer and enthusiast I had a lot of expectations from a browser specially when it comes from Google. I’ve seen a lot of people writing about it, some good and a few other stuff. Since it’s just a first beta out of the box, there might be a lot of complications along with it. So I’ve installed it both on my home and office computer and start browsing with it. Yeah, you will find a ton of writing about Google’s Chrome around the Internet. But how many of them actually pointed out what a browser should have and possible problem scenario. Obviously now the browser war is in more wide range. Microsoft Designs it’s Internet Explorer to be more fast on Microsoft platform and Microsoft ASP and .Net coded pages, Apple Designs the Safari to be more efficient on Mac platform, Mozilla is exceptionally efficient in it’s performance in Linux and Windows too, Opera keeps it’s performance on a specific group of Community and peoples and it’s already cleared what Google’s Chrome will do, it performs maximum with Google Apps and Google related products. Chrome comes with the v8 JavaScript engine, no it’s not the V8 Dodge Challenger – It’s just another Level of JavaScript Rendering Engine. Chrome renders the web pages using Apple Webkit (Safari) rendering engine. The question is how much effort has been put into Google Chrome while keeping the web standards on the roll? TechCrunch mentioned it as “Google’s Windows Killer”. Lets take a look into the major benefits and backlogs.
