ICloud perhaps hasn't been the best experience so far, but it hasn't been too bad. Some users (especially those migrating info across from MobileMe accounts — family or otherwise) have come across a few issues with regards to server loads — Apple even had to throttle transitions in order to keep with demand as reported by Ars Technica, but mostly I would put down those issues to the simultaneous release of iCloud to the public and to existing MobileMe customers, plus the release of iOS 5, and everything else that happened that day rather than anything else.
Hey, this new wireless AirPlay Mirroring thing in iOS 5 is pretty cool. You have to have the newer model AppleTV for it to work, but it's pretty nifty for big-screen games of Flight Control, Angry Birds, or whatever else tickles your fancy.
9 to 5 Mac notes new MacBook Pro model numbers in Apple's inventory system, but also goes on to note that the model numbers only reflect minor updates. Spec bump, anyone?
A quick tip from Dave Caolo this morning, who explains how you can hide and sort System Preference panels to your liking. He's confident that this is a feature introduced in 10.7.2 (along with those enlarged app icons in Launchpad), but I'm pretty sure you could hide and sort in 10.7.0, too.
