While the final episode of ABC’s “Lost” got all the attention last night, many were dissatisfied with the ending, which seemed to suggest the castaways were all dead the whole time. But here are BoomTown’s favorite TV finales, including my personal fave from HBO’s “Six Feet Under,” where all the deaths make much more sense given the premise.

Sadly, due to the sniffles and some minor hacking (thanks, kids!), BoomTown had to miss the roast of well-known blogger Robert Scoble that Startup2Startup hosted at its holiday party last night on Pier 38 in San Francisco.

Think Seinfeld and Newman of geeks and you have the right idea.

Here’s a new one that splits the difference: It features Patrick Warburton, best known as “Puddy” on Seinfeld

The irony is enough to make your head explode. The latest evolution of Microsoft’s new ad campaign–the one designed to seize back control of the Windows PC image that Apple’s so mercilessly tarred and feathered–wasn’t even made on a PC. It was made on a Mac.

Microsoft’s new ad campaign isn’t even a month old and already the company is de-featuring it. It’s dropping Jerry Seinfeld for the time being. Microsoft claims it had always planned to do this. Seinfeld was part of “phase one” of the campaign, it says. But he’s not part of “phase two,” which will feature some new personalities as well as Microsoft’s own version of the dorky PC guy in Apple’s “I’m a Mac” ads.
