Notifications: Kinda ugly and only sort of works

[smmullen]

I love the IDEA of the new notifications drop-down, but for a company that's as design-minded as Apple, they could have done a much better job of how it looks on my iPad. The textured background is ugly and there needs to be more of a margin on either side. Additionally, and more importantly, it only sort of works. I have it set to show my most recent five unread emails. I have 5-6 emails marked as unread that came to me in the last couple of days, and it's only showing me an old one one from two days ago .. much older than some of the other ones.
