Talkcast Sunday night, special early start at 9 pm ET: Farewell

Filed under: TUAW Business, Podcasts Last week's talkcast was a very full house and a very long show, as we delved into the reasons why we mourn the 12" PowerBook G4 and which Apple TV ad shows Mac users in the worst possible light (hint: it stars Milo Ventimiglia, from Heroes). Download the show from Talkshoe, play it from the Flash player in the continuation of this post, if you like, or pick it up on iTunes. Join us again Sunday night, May 25 at a special early time -- 9 pm ET, 6 pm PT. This week (really this time!) we say farewell to our colleague across the pond, Nik Fletcher. Bring your own beer and your favorite Nik stories and come hear why he's moving on (it's exciting!). We'll even be doing some Niktrivia and giving away some collectors' items (a MessagePad 2000 manual and a copy of the Internet Yellow Pages circa 1996).

TVWeek reports that this year's May television ratings sweeps are a debacle: Low ratings during the February sweeps may have been a fluke due to the writers strike, but the

NYT On Amanda Congdon'€s

Former Rocketboom host Amanda Congdon gets profiled in the New York Times, and somehow the NYT doesn't even cough up a link to her new video blog, Sometimes Daily. "It's weird," says Congdon. The Times article also seems fairly dismissive of everything that Congdon has done: Ms. Congdon, 26, became the closest thing to an Internet sensation by
