EDIT
As of March 7th 2012 you can now delete individual photos from Photo Stream if you are running iOS 5.1 or iPhoto 9.2.2
Believe it or not, it seems you can't delete individual photos from iOS5 Photo Stream. It seems you'll need to wait for them to scroll off as Photo Stream just holds your most recent 1000 pics. Deleting a picture from Camera ...

Update: Apple now allows you to share your Photo Stream with others. More info on the official Photo Stream page here
At the moment no. The only way to access your stream is from a Lion Machine using either iPhoto or Aperture, or from another iOS 5.0 device with Photo Stream enabled.
I am not entirely sure if Apple is going to allow a sharing portal, ...

After doing some research, I finally found where they were located, and then figured a quick way to get back to them.
The files themselves are stored in hashed folders under ~/Library/Application Support/iLifeAssetManagement/assets/sub.
I then created a Smart Folder using this path, and then selecting Kind as "Image". This then provides me with a ...

Yes, everything sent to or from iCloud is encrypted with SSL:
iCloud Security
iCloud secures your content by encrypting it when sent over the Internet, storing it in an encrypted format, and using secure tokens for authentication.

On a Windows system you can access Photo Stream by installing iCloud Control Panel for Windows.
Based on the description it allows you to access all the features within iCloud. Though this is only supported in Vista and Windows 7.
The iCloud Control Panel is required to use Photo Stream, Mail,
Contacts and Calendars (Microsoft Outlook 2007 or later ...

Enable the photo streaming, then you can view the photo from any device connected with your apple ID and have iCloud enabled.

Since Photo Stream backs your Camera Roll, any app that uses its own storage space rather than the Roll should do - and I doubt many have been (or can be) updated to backup their own storage to Photo Stream at this early stage.
I'm a fan of Camera+, myself. It saves photos to its own storage, and lets you push them to the Camera Roll (and, therefore, Photo ...

Yes! A process called PhotoStreamAgent runs at login, and idles in the background, downloading new photos when they're uploaded to your Photo Stream.
There exist both /Applications/Aperture.app/Contents/Library/LoginItems/PhotoStreamAgent.app and /Applications/iPhoto.app/Contents/Library/LoginItems/PhotoStreamAgent.app, indicating that this ...

There is also already a mechanism to sync PhotoStream photos to Windows PCs.
See the PC instructions on 'How to set up iCloud'.
I've used this and it works well. It adds a new folder to your PC, wherever your pictures are currently stored (e.g. the Pictures library, if on Windows 7).
Once they've been synced to the PC, you can just upload them using ...

Currently it can't. Photo Stream settings are detected via the iCloud preference pane and is global to your machine. Until it can support multiple iCloud accounts, iPhoto can only connect to one Photo Stream at a time. Since it's only a temporary store of the last photos taken I am assuming Apple will most likely not make this possible.
I normally move my ...

All photos on Photo Stream are stored in the cloud in full resolution. When they are pushed to an iPhone, iPad, iPod touch or Apple TV, they are downsized to make the best use of bandwidth available to those devices. So when you save a photo which was taken by another device from Photo Stream to your iPad's Camera Roll, it doesn't receive the full ...

Yes - your example of running a supported OS in virtualization would let you use the officially developed and supported Apple client software to tap into the photo stream. Once you have the software running, it should be fairly painless to get the files to disk and then available for viewing on Snow Leopard.
It's technically possible to virtualize Lion as ...

First question: yes, iCloud backs up your photo as it is. If you delete media from your photos library it will be deleted from iCloud. (I might add that videos are also stored in the cloud - and consequently take up the most room).
Second question: It is possible you can use the Scanner and Camera wizard to import photos from your iPhone. Here is are two ...

I guess with videos and Photo Stream you're out of luck.
From the iCloud: Photo Stream FAQ:
Does Photo Stream support video?
No. Photo Stream only works with photos.
With a local backup you could use something like the iOS Backup Extractor to extract the iOS files, including your video.
Don't know about iCloud backups and extraction of ...

I have found a better way. One that doesn't involve resync'ing the entire stream.
Quit iPhoto
Open up Activity Monitor
In the search field enter: photostreamagent
Select all the PhotoStreamAgent processes listed
Click the Quit Process button
In the confirmation dialog that pops up click the Quit button
Confirm that all the PhotoStreamAgent processes are no ...

A photo stored in the Camera Roll is permanently stored on your device (until you delete it). Only 1,000 photos are saved in the Photo Stream on an iOS device, so if enough photos are uploaded to your Photo Stream the old ones will be purged. (But a Mac or PC will save all of the photos in your Photo Stream by default.)
According to Apple, the downscaling ...

How about this:
First, backup your iPhoto Library then quite iPhoto. Then, hold down option + command while starting up iPhoto. You should then get a prompt like this:
Try selecting all of the options if you have time (it takes a while to repair) or just the last option "Examine and repair iPhoto Library file permissions if you only have a little bit ...

Just looked a little closer at my settings....
Settings -> General -> Profiles -> [Work Profile] -> More Details -> Disable Documents in the Cloud, iCloud backup, Photo Stream.
There's my answer, my company supplied configuration that was loaded on the phone limits this option.
C'est la vie...

iCloud.com doesn't have an interface to access your Photo Stream. However there are other ways to access the photos if you don't have access to iTunes for syncing.
Dropbox
The iOS Dropbox app has recently been updated with a feature that can automatically upload all the new photos from your Camera Roll to Dropbox when you open the app. I believe you can ...

As the Apple website reports, iCloud stores your pictures in Photo Stream for 30 days.
iCloud manages your Photo Stream efficiently so you don’t run out of
storage space on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch. If you have Photo
Stream enabled on your iOS device, every single photo you take appears
in a special Photo Stream album that holds your last ...

Automatic Import: Imports any pictures received via Photo Stream into the main Aperture library. A copy will be created for this which remains even after the 1000th picture has been added to the stream and which can be edited
For this to work Aperture has to be open/running. If the 1000 picture threshold is reached while Aperture is not running, pictures ...

In iPhoto, turn Photo Stream off then on.
Go to Preferences > Photo Stream. Uncheck "Enable Photo Stream". Close the preferences window. Click Photo Stream in the left-hand navigation pane and confirm there are no photos. Turn Photo Stream back on in preferences (check "Enable Photo Stream"). After a few seconds, iPhoto will start to download all the ...

Normally Photo Stream should sync across devices within seconds, so long as the device that took the photo is on WiFi. However, I've also run into cases where Aperture's PhotoStream folder lags in showing recent images. When this happens I've been able to fix the issue by disabling and then re-enabling Photo Stream in Aperture's settings. It will re-sync ...

Any photos that exist in the Camera Roll that didn't come from the device itself had to come from another device. The primary method for getting these pictures into iCloud's 1000 picture buffer is to enroll that other device into iCloud.
You have one case of a picture that was taken either more than 30 days ago or 1000 pictures ago or you deleted your ...

They are stored on your iPhone. You can find them in the Photos app.
It's a smart album filled with photos taken in the last 30 days.
Comment by Jaberg: (thanks!)
The Photo Stream smart album on an iOS device will contain the 1000
latest photos. The main "cloud store"will contain the photos from the
last 30 days and those photos will all be ...

The main store of the Photo Stream is on iCloud. Local copies of the latest 1000 photos in your Photo Stream are stored on your iDevices. Photo Stream pictures can also be downloaded into your iPhoto and/or Aperture photo libraries, or onto a designated folder on your Windows PC. Photos are purged from the Photostream cloud store after thirty days, so be ...

Apparently, some research after posting the question tells me that the answer is no to the first question, making the second a rather trivial no also.
According to Apple, PhotoStream is only for still-photos.

You could use iTunes Wi-Fi syncing.
Prior to iOS 5, you would have to plug in your device to sync with iTunes.
As of iOS 5, 2 new features were introduced:
iCloud
Wi-Fi syncing with iTunes
For people like me that mainly used iTunes for backup purposes, iCloud eliminated the need for syncing with iTunes altogether. However, there are people that still ...

I had this very problem today. I had taken 40 or so photos on iPhone 4, iOS 5.1, and when I got back to WiFi connection, I waited more than an hour for the photos to appear in PhotoStream either on the iPhone or my iPad, and they didn't.
None of the following worked:
Switching the iPhone to Airplane mode and back
Killing the Camera and Photos apps
Turning ...

Go to iCloud Preferences > Photo Stream. Uncheck "Enable Photo Stream", then click apply. Turn Photo Stream back on in preferences (check "Enable Photo Stream"). After a few seconds, iPhoto will start to download all the photos again. Depending on the number of photos, and your bandwidth, it may take awhile.
