Apple is making it harder and harder to not use iCloud. I don't want all photos and all contacts and everything to be on all of my iThings. Plus, just the name is silly. It's not a cloud, it's a server somewhere. I don't know where it is and I don't know who is in charge of it. I don't trust it.

iMac, OS X Yosemite (10.10), I just updated to Yosemite.
That’s funny because I have iCloud disabled, Siri totally off, not logged into my Apple ID and deleted FindMyPhone, ApplePay and have everything under Locations Services, all of the System Services off and I DEF do not share analytic data with you and my internet works fine. I rarely use Safari and keep it restricted:
I own this device. I paid for it and it belongs to me - NOT Apple
:)
Of course it is a server somewhere (actually several), that's basically what cloud computing is. If you don't wish to use it, turn it off. Of course, if you do not wish to use "a server somewhere" you can also skip email, surfing the web, Netflix, and just about any app update available.
