Apple's iCloud and iMessage Services Experiencing Significant Outage [Update: Resolved]
Beyond iCloud, Apple's iMessage service also appears to be down, with messages failing to go through as the sending process hangs prior to completion.
Update: Users are also reporting problems with Apple's developer portal and iTunes Store access, although pieces of Apple's online services do appear to be coming back online. We're even hearing that Apple may have experienced Internet issues for its own employees at its Cupertino headquarters.
Update 2: Apple has updated its iCloud system status page to note that "some" users are affected and that service will be restored "ASAP".
Update 3: Roughly two hours after reports of the issues began surfacing, Apple now notes on its iCloud system status page that all services are back online.

(View all)You just know sooner of later it's all going to go pear shaped.
The difference is, when it goes wrong, BOY will it go wrong.
I wonder how many people had a critical file they couldn't access in iCloud today? Good for managing contacts and calendars but not reliable enough for anything else.
Other reasons:
- Security
- Lack of connectivity everywhere
- Internet provider problems (lagging, busy, cant connect, etc.)
- content access based on a company rather than yourself
Yet so many people think cloud computing is the future, if it is we're in for a horrible future.
You mean welcome to the world of the Internet... Access to your data is always in the hands of someone else. Some less obvious than others.
Errr, no.
None of my data is stored via the Internet.
None of my data is in the hands of anyone else.
Every piece of my data is stored locally.
Why would I trust a 3rd party with my "only" copy or my "only" means to access my data? That would be beyond dumb.
Being without electricity or water for a couple of days is a problem. Not being able to stream Call Me Maybe from your iCloud account for a couple of hours? Not so much.
Welcome to the world of Cloud computing when access to your data is in the hand of someone else and stored somewhere else.

Cloud computing is nice, but you also need a local mirrored storage. Time Machine/Capsule probably will support iCloud synchronization.
