Now that you mention it, the icon definitely reminds me of The Weather.
If you can tell whether you love/hate this icon based on this crappy picture, you must have extreme photo analysis skills and CSI would like to hire you.
I think the joke would've been funnier if you said, "if you hate this icon, you have really high expectations in life"
yes, but i think the iSync capabilities are clearly going to be baked into iCloud. they wouldn't reuse the iSync icon for no reason...
edit - the iSync icon's background, that is
its not blue like every other new icon
EDIT: theres an official wwdc app if any developers here are going however for some reason i cant get it in itunes. maybe something with them being down.

No no no. Making fun of happy people is always funnier than making fun of unhappy people.
Come on, now. You know that.

Yes, it's a given iCloud will have sync services. If it doesn't...well, that'll just be sad.
No I can tell one is a music note it's the 3rd icon. I opened in GIMP but could get zoomed in with out killing the picture. There are at lease 4 icons in the cloud part. I'm guessing Music, Video, but wonder what the other 2/3 are?
edit: You're right I got a better picture and flipped it...it's taste backwards.
Apple Insider has some clearer shots. Lion + iOS 5 + iCloud = WWDC 11

I still prefer the .mac/iTools icon over anything they've done since .Mac faded away.
Ok, can all the 'there are icons in there!' people look at the Apple-insider gallery that was just linked to above?
Hopefully that settles the issue.

iCloud announcement
iCloud won't be the biggest announcement.
The biggest announcement will be that iCloud will replace all existing Apple products. Macs, iPods, Apple TVs, iPhones and iPads will be compressed into a single chip the user will have implanted at the base of the hippocampus, giving the user complete and intuitive access to the Internet and Apple's NC data center.
This will make way for a new type of profession known as "couriers". They will carry sensitive information for political groups and corporations. The side effect of the implant will prove to be the loss of a great deal of long term memory.
In the near future, Apple will introduce an upgrade known as a "memory doubler" which will prove to be unstable and may cause permanent brain damage. This upgrade will be taken off the market, and never heard of again. Until, a long term side effect of the implant will appear, causing wide spread neuro-breakdowns.
A cure will appear and a heroic courier will use the upgrade to carry the cure into the right hands. His name: Johnny Mnemonic.

well the icon looks almost like the iDisk one. This allows for the speculation that the iDisk will be discontinued altogether and replaced by a function of the icloud service.
The iDisk is very slow but I honestly like the fact that it is a stand alone service. If it gets mixed up into all the other cloud services like itunes streaming, backups, app store, mobile iworks and what not I wouldn't be happy. I'm not interested in any of the cloud services that are rumored so having my private online storage mixed up into a complicated sytem of iOS updates and iTunes streaming services would be a step back.
