Apple's just posted the video of the entire MacBook event, so you can watch it from start to finish. It's worth watching just to hear Jonathan Ive render "aluminum" in his delicious English accent over and over and over. Oh, and I hear Steve Jobs makes a cameo or two. [Apple]
The latest casualty in Apple's App Store blacklisting is Podcaster. A native app built according to exact SDK specifications, it goes beyond its creator's web-bound streaming-only Podcaster.fm by letting you download and manage podcasts in a nice straightforward interface. Insidious, right? Apple thought so.

A note from the department of shameless self-promotion:
With regular Gizmodo editor Nick Broughall away on holidays, it has been left to the BRAN team to struggle manfully to fill his rather large shoes. While we're doing that, however, we're still producing our regular technology podcast, and episode 84 has just gone online. In it we look at when we're getting the next generation of broadband in Australia, exploding iPod Nanos, the ABC's online broadcasting plans, censorship in SA, Windows on the Eee PC, the Jimmy Wales scandal and more. Check it out here. [BRAN]

As Nick mentioned last week, the team from BRAN, Australia's edgiest tech podcast, are pitching in to help out at Gizmodo Australia while he's off enjoying his honeymoon. While a good chunk of our time is currently spent knee-deep in gadget galleries (and we are totally not complaining), we're also still producing our regular podcasts. In the latest episode, #83, we look at the seven greatest technology disasters of all time -- products or events that really, really sucked. We don't want to give away the whole list, but it's safe to say that Apple, Microsoft and Sony all make an appearance. Check it out online or subscribe via iTunes. [BRAN #83]
Gadget-loving actor Stephen Fry has added podcasting to his digital repertoire, though in quintessential Fry style he's dubbing them "podgrams." Issue one is out on his site now, detailing his recent arm-breaking disaster. We hope it heals soon Stephen, so that in future podgrams we can hear more of your thoughts on cool new gadgets!
