Steve: You know, the iCloud sounds really swell and all, and not having to plug into the Mac to sync the iDevices is a welcome feature, but I’d really prefer to have a local “home based” cloud with the option of allowing certain content out to the larger cloud while retaining local control.

IOW you want your Mac to be a server? There's an app for that . . .

OS X Lion Server

Yea... Well aware of that. What I’m not aware of, and why I asked, was whether or not the “server” would function as a local icloud rather than Apple’s cloud farm in NC.

I haven’t had time to drill down through all the reports on the announcement. I just figured I’d ask the Sword and see if he knew.
