Visual Studio 2010 Service Pack 1 released

SP1 for VS is finally out.  Or tomorrow for non-MSDNers.
Doesn't mention if they've reduced the number of times that it crashes, but since the frequency can't go up, I figure it's worth installing.

See the following link for the announcement and bytes.

Nudity on Book Covers

Having spent a bit of time recently sorting through various books, mostly of the sci-fi and fantasy ilk, I got to wondering: what is the impact of nudity on a book's cover?

Information regarding nudity on book covers is not that easy to come by on the web. The best I managed was discussion on some Jungle Book covers featuring a naked Mowgli.

And, in the end, all we get is speculation on how the publisher might have felt about the view of Mowgli's buttocks.

So does nudity on a cover raise sales? Or does it lower them?

Does it restrict the places that the book can be sold (such as a Target or Walmart store)?

Do publishers tend to have guidelines for artists (no full frontal)?

Do covers with nudity tend to prevail in certain countries? Most books do have different covers for different markets, and the styles do vary from country to country. Some prefer vivid, coloured covers whilst others have row upon row of books with just two tone shapes, a san serif title and the author's name.

Does the genre strongly affect its likelihood? Do publishers of hard sci-fi worry that having breasts on the cover would fail to attract the target market by misidentifying it? Do publishers of heroic fantasy worry that having a penis dangling on the cover would turn off the teenage male buyers?

Does it come and go over time? Am I likely to find a predominance of naked women adorning the covers of books from the 60s and 70s, but a dearth from the 90s?

I should probably datamine my own collection and see if any interesting stats turn up.

If anyone has any information on covers with nudity, by all means, chime in.
