Other removals followed. Now, a developer who talked to Apple has the scoop on the future of iPhone titillation, and it is bleak . Really bleak. Like no racy photos, no suggestive language, no bathing suits bleak. This devastating news comes by way of TechCrunch , who has been following this story closely (but not in a weird way). Initially it seemed that Apple's new policy was to ban "overtly sexual content," which was disappointing, but, you know, understandable . Now TC has received word from a developer who has discussed the matter with "multiple App Store reviewers," and things aren't looking too hot. Not even close to hot, in fact]]></description> <wfw:commentRss>http://poisonpop.net/2010/02/apple-says-no-more-titillating-apps-period-apple/feed/</wfw:commentRss> <slash:comments>0</slash:comments> </item> <item><title>Student-Built &quot;Black Widow&quot; Racer Gets 2,752 Miles Per Gallon [Automobiles]</title><link>http://poisonpop.net/2010/02/student-built-black-widow-racer-gets-2752-miles-per-gallon-automobiles/</link> <comments>http://poisonpop.net/2010/02/student-built-black-widow-racer-gets-2752-miles-per-gallon-automobiles/#comments</comments> <pubDate>Sun, 21 Feb 2010 00:15:56 +0000</pubDate> <dc:creator>LISAYm28</dc:creator> <category><![CDATA[Tech]]></category> <category><![CDATA[automobiles]]></category> <category><![CDATA[blackwindow]]></category> <category><![CDATA[ecomarathon]]></category> <category><![CDATA[energy]]></category> <category><![CDATA[energyefficiency]]></category> <category><![CDATA[fuel]]></category> <category><![CDATA[shell]]></category> <category><![CDATA[shellecomarathon]]></category> <category><![CDATA[students]]></category><guid

The team has been working on the vehicle since 2005, and with each successive year they've managed to shed weight and ramp up mileage. In its current state it weighs only 96 pounds, and can hit a top speed of 30 MPH with its Honda 50cc engine. In the last three Shell Eco-Marathons—a competition for student-made, energy-efficient vehicles—the Black Widow placed either first or second]]></description> <wfw:commentRss>http://poisonpop.net/2010/02/student-built-black-widow-racer-gets-2752-miles-per-gallon-automobiles/feed/</wfw:commentRss> <slash:comments>0</slash:comments> </item> <item><title>Extended blurb for Miéville&#039;s &#039;Kraken&#039;</title><link>http://poisonpop.net/2010/02/extended-blurb-for-mievilles-kraken/</link> <comments>http://poisonpop.net/2010/02/extended-blurb-for-mievilles-kraken/#comments</comments> <pubDate>Sun, 21 Feb 2010 00:10:00 +0000</pubDate> <dc:creator>Sherry Poison</dc:creator> <category><![CDATA[books]]></category><guid
isPermaLink="false">http://poisonpop.net/2010/02/extended-blurb-for-mievilles-kraken/</guid> <description><![CDATA[ A new, extended blurb for China Miéville's Kraken that I came across on Westeros (no idea as to where it originated): With this outrageous new novel, China Miéville has written one of the strangest, funniest, and flat-out scariest books you will read this—or any other—year. The London that comes to life in Kraken is a weird metropolis awash in secret currents of myth and magic, where criminals, police, cultists, and wizards are locked in a war to bring about—or prevent—the End of All Things. In the Darwin Centre at London’s Natural History Museum, Billy Harrow, a cephalopod specialist, is conducting a tour whose climax is meant to be the Centre’s prize specimen of a rare Architeuthis dux—better known as the Giant Squid. But Billy’s tour takes an unexpected turn when the squid suddenly and impossibly vanishes into thin air. As Billy soon discovers, this is the precipitating act in a struggle to the death between mysterious but powerful forces in a London whose existence he has been blissfully ignorant of until now, a city whose denizens—human and otherwise—are adept in magic and murder. There is the Congregation of God Kraken, a sect of squid worshippers whose roots go back to the dawn of humanity—and beyond. There is the criminal mastermind known as the Tattoo, a merciless maniac inked onto the flesh of a hapless victim. There is the FSRC—the Fundamentalist and Sect-Related Crime Unit—a branch of London’s finest that fights sorcery with sorcery]]></description> <wfw:commentRss>http://poisonpop.net/2010/02/extended-blurb-for-mievilles-kraken/feed/</wfw:commentRss> <slash:comments>0</slash:comments> </item> <item><title>To Belabor a Point: The Polanski Problem</title><link>http://poisonpop.net/2010/02/to-belabor-a-point-the-polanski-problem/</link> <comments>http://poisonpop.net/2010/02/to-belabor-a-point-the-polanski-problem/#comments</comments> <pubDate>Sun, 21 Feb 2010 00:02:00 +0000</pubDate> <dc:creator>abrannyrelf</dc:creator> <category><![CDATA[4]]></category> <category><![CDATA[macbeth]]></category> <category><![CDATA[nastassja kinski]]></category> <category><![CDATA[nastassjakinski]]></category> <category><![CDATA[roman polanski]]></category> <category><![CDATA[romanpolanski]]></category> <category><![CDATA[sharon tate]]></category> <category><![CDATA[sharontate]]></category> <category><![CDATA[tess]]></category> <category><![CDATA[the ghost writer]]></category> <category><![CDATA[theghostwriter]]></category><guid

I've seen The Ghost Writer and I liked the movie very much, especially the more I thought about it. I'd like to see it again. I like Polanski's other movies quite a bit as well, especially as I've gotten older and revisited them. ]]></description> <wfw:commentRss>http://poisonpop.net/2010/02/to-belabor-a-point-the-polanski-problem/feed/</wfw:commentRss> <slash:comments>0</slash:comments> </item> <item><title>Astonishing yet not confusing?

Cyclops and Storm seem somewhere about 7ft tall, Storm appears to have forgotten most of her top and, from that waistline, hasn’t been eating properly either. And poor Emma Frost has suffered from some really bad plastic surgery that’s taken at least 2 ft off her height. Kaare Andrews is normally a pretty good artist, but this is just pretty awful. This “Astonishing X-Men:Xenogenesis” relaunch from issue 1 marks the start of a new Astonishing line from Marvel, followed swiftly by “Astonishing Spider-Man/Wolverine” by Jason Aaron and Adam Kubert. According to this solicit information : “They are firmly set in Marvel continuity but also accessible to new readers,” said Marvel Senior VP of Sales and Circulation David Gabriel. “If you’re looking for big changes and character developments or a place to start reading if you are new to comics, this is where you come]]></description> <wfw:commentRss>http://poisonpop.net/2010/02/astonishing-yet-not-confusing-tough-to-get-right%e2%80%a6/feed/</wfw:commentRss> <slash:comments>0</slash:comments> </item> <item><title>Kevin O’Neill in the Comics Journal – interview</title><link>http://poisonpop.net/2010/02/kevin-o%e2%80%99neill-in-the-comics-journal-%e2%80%93-interview/</link> <comments>http://poisonpop.net/2010/02/kevin-o%e2%80%99neill-in-the-comics-journal-%e2%80%93-interview/#comments</comments> <pubDate>Sun, 21 Feb 2010 00:01:33 +0000</pubDate> <dc:creator>admin</dc:creator> <category><![CDATA[comics]]></category> <category><![CDATA[toys]]></category> <category><![CDATA[comics and cartoons]]></category> <category><![CDATA[kevin o'neill]]></category> <category><![CDATA[the comics journal]]></category><guid

Wouldn&#39;t it be great instead of constantly reading about all those boring Size 2&#39;s, why not a Size 10, Size 12 or even a Size 16? Accomplice Press is answering this call for more real-life body type heroines. A few words from Karen Jones Promotions Manager, Partner of Accomplice Press: Accomplice Press Wants You to Write Our Next Curvalicious Romance… Accomplice Press is a boutique-style publisher and we are launching a romance book line called Curvalicious. Our novella length love stories will highlight beautiful, strong, intelligent, plus size heroines. Curvalicious is romance at its finest because it is all about real women. We are extremely excited to prove to the world that the main character in a romance novel doesn't need to be a size 8 to be sexy and desirable]]></description> <wfw:commentRss>http://poisonpop.net/2010/02/why-we-need-more-heroines-with-curves-accomplice-press/feed/</wfw:commentRss> <slash:comments>0</slash:comments> </item> <item><title>G’94 Risen!</title><link>http://poisonpop.net/2010/02/g%e2%80%9994-risen/</link> <comments>http://poisonpop.net/2010/02/g%e2%80%9994-risen/#comments</comments> <pubDate>Sat, 20 Feb 2010 21:43:00 +0000</pubDate> <dc:creator>Quacciday</dc:creator> <category><![CDATA[SciFi]]></category> <category><![CDATA[daikaiju]]></category> <category><![CDATA[elliott and rossio]]></category> <category><![CDATA[giant monsters]]></category> <category><![CDATA[godzilla]]></category> <category><![CDATA[graphic novels]]></category> <category><![CDATA[pictorial art]]></category> <category><![CDATA[todd tennant]]></category><guid
