			<description><![CDATA[Unfortunately, one side effect of notifications is that ical alerts no longer allow you to specify the length of the snooze.<br><br>Not being able to ask an alert to remind me again in an hour or a day is a real step back from the pre-Mountain Lion ability.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Thanks for the advice, but turning off banners etc in System Prefs does not stop them from appearing in Mail. I have to reset Notifications center every day. <br>]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Here's what I don't get about Notifications. It was developed right along-side iCloud. Why do I have three Notification Centers (iPhone, iPad, and iMac) that are essentially unconscious of the others? When someone leaves me a voicemail, my Mac should be able to notify me (assuming I want it to). Likewise, when 3rd party Mac developers add Notification Center support, I want to be able to tell Notification Center to include my mobile devices.<br><br>Apple's push for data synchronization is totally absent when it comes to this Top New Feature. And this is a feature where syncronization could be incredibly useful and necessary!]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[I am one who resents the intrusion of Notifications when I'm concentrating. I can drag everything out of "In notification center" but Apple's Mail program continues to notify me whenever I get an email. I can turn notifications off, but only for a day. For some goofy reason it resets to the on position. Why can't I just get rid of it?]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Bark (http://barkplug.in) is the best solution I've found yet for redirecting Growl to the Notification Center.  And Mail has a Preferences setting for new message notifications, which allows you to specify a Smart Mailbox so you can use Mail's rules to reduce the clutter (and distractions) in Notification Center.]]></description>
