Amazon.com

This is a must.  They have all the tangible goods I want.

"IRL" I would like to see any gas station be ballsy enough to take on BTC transactions on the fly (and possibly be able to convert change).

Computer hardware.

I'd much rather support a company and spend maybe 10% more BTC on hardware than use cash. I feel that'd be a better way to utilize the mining I do, rather than cashing in every week or two.

Newegg.com

1 buy hardware with bitcoins
2 mine bitcoins with new hardware
3 buy better hardware with mined bitcoins
4 go to step 2  Grin

On a slightly more serious note, it would be nice if places like donorschoose.org took bitcoins.

In the short term - clothes, shoes and health foods come to mind.

In the long term - everything. It would be nice to have my savings in Bitcoin.

Would you go back into time with some 6990's and start GPU mining when bitcoin first started? I'd say that's smart, but with those you'd ruin bitcoin from the start, since you'd have 99% of the network power.

I'd go back in time and show up on the set of [t]Back to the Future[/i] mid shooting. Think how their reaction would be.

I believe most people here will say graphics cards.

I also enjoy buying RAM, because it feels so dirty when I buy it. It's like I'm treating my computer to something nice after a long night with it. "Oh, baby. I got you an upgrade. You know that 4GB of RAM you've got your eye on? Well I've got you 8GB since you mean so much to me." She's gonna be mad when she finds out when I can't support her going above 128.

And no, I'm not a virgin. Why would you think that??!

I would like to buy entertainment. Web apps, games, art, clothes, and gadgets. I hope there will be some unique things to buy, that are exclusive to BTC retailers.

Video cards are suprisingly hard to get approved from distrobutors but I'm still waiting for a couple of replys. Ill end up probubly selling only 1/4 of neweggs selections so my current bussiness plan is motherboards, ram, power supplies, usb memory sticks, cpus, anything else the community would like.

I'd like to buy the things I need for day-to-day living. There's a ton of stuff on the marketplace I'd like to have, but don't really need and would never consider purchasing except that they're selling for btc.

Someone geek must work within Amazon to see what buttons must be pushed to get them to accept.

Having the Grocery section of Amazon open to Bitcoin use, oh my, that can have everyone using their BTC on something they already buy.

I think it would already be a huge step forward to be able to use BTC for everything I now do with online transfers, starting from rent, utility bills, ISP/mobile phone provider, buying goods online etc. Basically everything where it is not that crucial for a payment to be confirmed within the hour. Either the service has been provided anyway already in good faith, or shipment can be hold until payment is confirmed.

* DRM free ebooks.
* Simple Rails hosting, like Heroku.
* Secondhand stuff: furniture, electronics, etc. Craigslist of eBay, pay with BTC.
