I wonder how long Amazon can now stay away from Bitcoin. They will be losing money and market share by the day.
The only problem I see is all these companies starting from OverStock, TigerDirect to DELL are accepting Bitcoin only for their US operation. What is point of accepting a global currency for a specific country ? because when you roll out with something new, you use some test markets until you feel more secure with how everything works. once you're more comfortable that it won't destroy or adversely affect your business, you can take it worldwide. |

Expedia accepted bitcoins world wide directly from the start  |

Most of the companies I have worked with always buy dells. As more companies like this accept bitcoins, then companies that purchase their equipment via Dell will be able to keep some of their bitcoin sales for making purchases.
I also tend to tell family to buy a Dell when they ask me what kind of computer to buy. Sure I could give them an idea of the best hardware out there and what gives the best speed and performance, etc. But when it comes to just a simple computer that you can use to surf the web and open M$ Office documents, Dell does what it needs to do.

great news. now that will help push those small independant retailers to accept bitcoin, because they can restock their shelves with dell computers and pay dell with bitcoins, without converting  we need more suppliers to do this Yup, this is amazing. I suspect a bit of a domino effect with other major vendors hoping on the band wagon as well, especially after dell publishes their Q1 bitcoin related earnings  I hope Micheal just decides to hold onto a good portion of them. Basically accepting bitcoin for online computer retailers is no longer a competitive advantage but rather a necessity to survive. |

How long is apple going to take now until they start accepting too?
From its' birth, Apple never tested other's shoe. It built its own hardware to run its own OS. Apple machines can still be serviced only by Apple. So I think, Apple will roll out its own coin that'll run only on Apple hardware by Apple software. This is how they'll compete the ASIC business |

This is great!  Spying hardware is great? Don't buy it. Just use the news to your benefit in how Bitcoin is changing the landscape of commerce. |

This is awesome news! I'm waiting Microsoft and other bigger companies to step ahead now. Bitcoin's success is inevitable, every company will adopt in years. First adopters take market advantage. |

Again, dont bet on Microsoft and Apple. They'll release their own coin before accepting Bitcoin on their platform. |

I don't think any company coin will success in even mid-term. You can't trust centralized systems, they don't have any difference than paper money or bank account numbers. I think at some time even the biggest companies can't deny this success and adopt Bitcoin eventually.

Great news, I think in all honesty anything that shows Bitcoin holds real life value does nothing but good for it. Can't wait till they roll this out across the globe.

Value is a function of purchasing power. You add a new place to use that purchasing power and it becomes worth more. Exchange rates are merely snapshots in time that don't always reflect the true value of something. |

This is really not true. Bitcoin has a greater level of anonymity then using credit cards and other remittance methods. |
