Some people are a little confused about Apple IDs and iCloud, but there's a nice Apple support article that aims to clear some of that confusion right up. It explains how you can use the same Apple ID for iCloud that you do for iTunes Store purchases, how to use a separate Apple ID for iCloud and iTunes Store purchases, and finally, how using a MobileMe account with iCloud affects things (you'll get more storage, for one).
If you're using Photo Stream with iCloud, you might be wondering why you can't remove individual photos from iCloud. You can, however, reset your Photo Stream entirely by logging into the iCloud web interface and pushing a few buttons as detailed in this support article — but it might have been better for Apple to allow a "selective remove" feature in the first place.
A story from Macworld from a few days ago says Intel are saying that Thunderbolt isn't competition for USB 3.0, despite Thunderbolt offering twice the bandwidth of USB 3 — or perhaps that's exactly the reason why it isn't a competitor, instead being "complementary" to the USB spec, perhaps just like FireWire was to USB all those years ago.
Xcode 4.2 has a few new accessibility features thanks to VoiceOver on the Mac. If you've ever used Xcode and know the complexity that program contains, you'll know this is a pretty impressive feat indeed.
