Anandtech take a closer look at iCloud where it perhaps matters quite a bit: on the desktop, on both OS X 10.7.2 and also on iCloud for Windows. They say that while there's nothing particularly interesting about the technology behind iCloud, there's very little that's actually new — with perhaps the exception of document storage in the cloud, something which iClouds predecessor, MobileMe, was never capable of (unless you count iDisk).
If you're having issues with Find My Mac on the desktop, you're not alone. TUAW says some people are having an issue with the new iCloud preference pane that prompts them to update their system, but that just isn't happening. There's also a tick-box you have to make sure is checked elsewhere in the system, in Security and Privacy.
MacRumors says Apple is working on adding movies to the cloud, in much the same way your AppleTV can now stream movies directly from the iTunes Store. It's not clear in what capacity these movies in the cloud would be used, but it doesn't take too much of an imagination to see that iOS devices will definitely be featured in the mix.
Over at HardMac is where you can read all about Ivy Bridge, the next generation of silicon processors from Intel — and likely the next set of CPUs that will power most MacBook Pros, iMacs, and just about every other Mac.
