Iran Introduces Flying Boats With Machine Guns, Scares Nobody
As part of the country's Sacred Week of Defense, which commemorates its eight-year war with Iraq, Iran's Revolutionary Guard Corps unveiled three squadrons of new flying boats yesterday to the delight of the handful of people who actually support the Revolutionary Guard. CNN reports that the boat, known as the Bavar-2, is packed with a machine gun and cameras, while the BBC emphasizes the boat's unique surveillance infrastructure, which includes technology that allows it to avoid radar. Of course, that's also what the Revolutionary Guard claimed in 2006, when it unveiled a previous line of missile-equipped flying boats -- and comprehensively failed to scare anyone. Don't expect the Bavar-2 to strike fear in the hearts of international leaders, either. The boats are, after all, painted in a decidedly non-threatening shade of periwinkle.

Preview the New MobileMe Calendar Beta
A completely new version of MobileMe Calendar is now available as a beta on me.com.
To sign up, go to me.com/calendar and click "Request an invitation." You will receive an email notification when you have been added to the beta (we will add members in the order of their request over the coming weeks).
Here are some of the new features:
Beautiful new web application
The Calendar beta includes a new web application at me.com with great-looking calendar views. You'll find redesigned day, week, and month views, as well as a new list view to make scanning your events easier. Your calendars will also load faster, thanks to improved performance. The new web application works best with Safari 5, Firefox 3.6, and Internet Explorer 8.
Share calendars with family and friends
You can easily share your calendars with one or more MobileMe members to keep everyone on the same page. For example, create a shared calendar called "Kids" for school and weekend activities. You can allow the person you're sharing a calendar with to edit events, and set up email notifications to tell you when they make a change.
Publish a calendar for a group or team
The Calendar beta lets you share a read-only public calendar that can be viewed by anyone, perfect for publishing an events calendar such as a soccer team schedule. After setting it up you can send the team members a link to view the calendar on their iPhone, iPad, iPod touch, Mac, or PC.
Event invitations with RSVPs
Inviting any guest to an event is easy from the MobileMe Calendar beta. Just add their email address to the event (they don't have to be a MobileMe member) and your guests will get an invitation email they can respond to directly by clicking a link. Your event then automatically updates, making it easy to track RSVPs right in your calendar.
Works on iPhone, iPad, iPod touch, and Mac
The MobileMe Calendar beta uses the CalDAV standard so you can view and edit your calendars using the built-in calendar applications on your iPhone, iPad, iPod touch, and Mac. Please note that support for PCs with Microsoft Outlook is coming soon.
To use the MobileMe Calendar beta, you need to be running iOS 4 on iPhone or iPod touch, iOS 3.2 on iPad, Mac OS X Snow Leopard version 10.6.4. For more details on system requirements and answers to other questions, please read this FAQ.
We look forward to your feedback on the MobileMe Calendar beta—you can tell us what you think by clicking the Feedback link at the bottom of the Calendar sidebar at me.com.

Google Autocomplete Blacklist Marks 'Gay Men' and 'Cocaine' as Offensive
As you'd imagine, most of the words on Google's blacklist, as gathered by 2600: The Hacker Quarterly, are of an explicitly sexual nature, although the list also includes four-letter words, racial slurs, and potentially taboo phrases like 'cocaine,' 'white power,' 'lesbian' and 'gay men' (the latter only when followed by a space).

Marissa Mayer: Orkut?s U.S. Failure Was Due To Slow Performance After Fast Growth
Today at our TechCrunch Disrupt conference in San Francisco, Google's Marissa Mayer took the stage to talk a bit with our own Michael Arrington. After she revealed a couple new Google Instant features, she went right into another topic: social.
Michael (of course) asked Mayer to disclose Google's plans for their upcoming social strategy. Mayer (of course) would not do that. But then Michael turned the discussion to a social product Google does currently offer: Orkut. To hear Mayer tell it, the service never caught on in the U.S. simply because it was far too slow after its initial launch.
