Just kidding. It's not bad at all. It's just annoying.
Seems like the new notification center (swipe-y from the top thingee) will show you events in calendars you're not "showing" in the Calendar app. When you click on them, it toggles the "show" thingee in calendar to, well, checked. Seems like this is the reverse of the desired behavior. There's no point in showing me events if I don't want to see them in Calendar.
(And before you ask, the reason I have calendars I'm not viewing on my phone is because I have this horribly draconian method of syncing between gCal, iCloud, iCal and my iPhone. In order to get, you know, "useful" features -- like, for example, the ability to do ANYTHING with the event -- from subscribed events, I [seemingly] have to subscribe to them via gCal and then sync them with the Sync tool from google. But, of course, if I want those events to show up on iCal, I have to subscribe to them from there too. Since I don't want both of them showing on my iPhone, and since the gCal events are superior -- they allow things like alerts, editing the notes (for cutting and pasting, and occasionally being allowed to send invitations, for example) none of which is available in the corresponding iCal events, I keep the latter hidden, and the former visible. End parenthetical).
But, of course, the latter still show up in the notification center thingee.
Oh well.
(PS: Why ARE subscribed events functionally useless? I can't invite people, I can't set notifications, I can't copy and paste anything like directions, addresses or the notes. They're just...there.)
Please don't use misleading thread titles in the future
