I've been working on the new Facebook clone app, I have a lot to say about that but I'll defer that for now. One of the things that Facebook did is provide a different experience in iOS & Android. I wanted to replicate that by using a more iOS style back behavior in my clone.

Timezones suck. Especially daylight saving. I don't mind moving the clock or losing an hour of sleep as much as the programming bugs related to that practice. The thing that sucks even more is Java's old date/time API.
This was publicly acknowledged by the Java community with JSR 310 which replaced the Java Date & Time API's however due to its complexity we still don't have it yet. As a small workaround we created a small API to perform some common date calculations.
