WHY?</title><description>&lt;p&gt;Clock (including timer, stopwatch, alarm clock, world clock), Calculator, Stocks, Weather.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I don&amp;#8217;t get it, Apple.  Why am I using shitty third party versions when you could just port the iPhone versions.  You&amp;#8217;re on iPad 3 and IOS 5 and you haven&amp;#8217;t ported Clock, Calculator, Stocks and Weather?  I don&amp;#8217;t get it.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;There&amp;#8217;s no reason why I should have to choose between a calculator that shows a logo screen and one that shows ads.  That&amp;#8217;s a choice I shouldn&amp;#8217;t have to make. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Why should I pay for a weather app?  Why should my drop down top menu seem so empty without weather?&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;And Stocks.  I&amp;#8217;m just going to have to use a web shortcut to Google Finance.  WTF Apple.  Seriously.  WTF.&lt;/p&gt;</description><link>http://thunt.net/post/23736750855</link><guid>http://thunt.net/post/23736750855</guid><pubDate>Fri, 25 May 2012 08:52:51 -0700</pubDate></item><item><title>UPS needs to say Morning or Afternoon or Evening for Residential Delivery</title><description>&lt;p&gt;For Residential Delivery, saying that you&amp;#8217;ll be here today is not enough.  I need to know Morning or Afternoon.  I just spent all morning here waiting, so I guess my package is coming in the afternoon.  I now have to leave and will miss my package, no doubt spiraling until I have to drive out to your warehouse and I wonder why you bother claiming you&amp;#8217;re a package delivery company when all you really leave behind are those little yellow missed delivery slips.&lt;/p&gt;</description><link>http://thunt.net/post/23688515300</link><guid>http://thunt.net/post/23688515300</guid><pubDate>Thu, 24 May 2012 13:46:27 -0700</pubDate></item><item><title>Short film make me believe.

&lt;p&gt;A few hours ago, I landed in Los Angeles, turned on my phone, and confirmed what you already know. Sony Pictures Television is replacing me as showrunner on Community, with two seasoned fellows that I’m sure are quite nice - actually, I have it on good authority they’re quite nice, because…&lt;/p&gt;
