2:24PM Nick Broughall
For those of you who haven’t yet caught episode two of Byteside, last week’s games show tackled the whole R18+ rating debate. What made the discussion really worth mentioning however was the inclusion on the panel of Paul Hunt, former Deputy Director of the OFLC. You know, the guys who actually ban games. More »

iPhone 3.0 Lifts 10MB Over-the-Air Download Cap For Podcasts
8:50PM John Herrman | This could easily get snuffed out before release, but OS 3.0 beta users can download >10MB podcasts over 3G. An annoying catch: the 10MB limit is still in place for the app store. More »

9:31AM Nick Broughall | Those of you who have been part of the Giz family for a while will remember our good friend Seamus — he launched Giz AU, helped us cover the Aussie iPhone launch and even took the mantle over at Kotaku while it was without an editor. Well, he’s just launched a brand new podcast called Midnight Update, which covers the tech and gaming news each weekday. As you may have guessed, it hits the webs at midnight…
Even though it’s only six episodes old, Shay’s still managed to start giving stuff away, as well as interview members of the Australian Cricket team. I tell you, the guy’s got influence. So make sure you head on over to the site to check it out, and subscribe to the podcast in iTunes.

iPhone 2.2 Screenshots Show Full Podcast Interface, Polished Store App
1:07AM Jesus Diaz | New screenshots of the new iPhone operating system update keep leaking from obscure European sites, where they have no respect for NDAs and cheddar cheese. These ones reveal the fully polished over-the-air podcast interface. We got a glimpse of it before–in the iPhone OS 2.2 rumour round-up–but these show the whole thing, including the downloading process over the 3G network. There’s a catch, however. More »

Watch Entire MacBook Event Now
6:55AM Matt Buchanan | 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] More »

App Store Blacklist: Podcaster Too iTunesy
9:30AM Wilson Rothman | 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. More »

1:42PM Nathan Taylor | 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]

9:21AM Angus Kidman | 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]
