Since Notes and Reminders are iOS apps that Apple is going to add in Mountain Lion update for OS X, it makes sense for Apple to make these apps iCloud compatible. So that users can view and edit notes and Reminders right from iCloud’s web app accessible with literally every device with internet connectivity. Continue…
