And Dell is almost out of business so they have to do something.
Is it so ? In most of the offices I still see 3 brands... 1. DELL 2. HP 3. IBM

I don't get why everyone is freaking out over the fact that you can pay with Bitcoins to be spied on.
This is really not true. Bitcoin has a greater level of anonymity then using credit cards and other remittance methods. They're talking about Dell spying on you. Even as far back as 2005, there have been controversies. Wouldn't surprise me if they're sill doing it. Chances are most companies do it, but it's one of those things people generally don't care enough about to find out and shop elsewhere.

Revenue Decrease US$ 56.94 billion (2013)[3] Operating income Decrease US$ 3.01 billion (2013)[3] Net income Decrease US$ 2.37 billion (2013)[3] Total assets Increase US$ 47.54 billion (2013)[3] Total equity Increase US$ 10.68 billion (2013)[3] Totally out of business. Stop talking nonsense, do research first.

Nope, they were doing good, a cashcow, but not growing in terms of revenue. So Michael Dell with the help of some PE took DELL private, to re-invent the company. This is a good start. At no point in DELL's history were they going out of business.

When i saw this news i was like wow wtf this is rly big news.
Dell is rly reputable company and when company like that starts accepting btc its rly good for bitcoin and will make many other company's starting to think about it . It won't affect the price ofc but it will affect overall acceptance of btc. Which is rly good news.
Now its time for others to step in .

As I can see, DELL is the third largest PC vendor as per Q4 of 2013. Does this report show US only data ?

i still find it hard to believe that dell still has such ugly designs.. their laptops were like this over 10+ years ago. but still, the xps 13 line is quite sexy to me at least.

Dell is doing pretty good.... although their competitors are shutting down (Sony Vaio for example). However, the overall demand for Desktops / Laptops is going down, as most of the people are now preferring Androids and Tablets.

Hopefully we will see a reversal of this trend with people using bitcoin to buy computers.

Chances are most companies do it, but it's one of those things people generally don't care enough about to find out and shop elsewhere. The supposed "spyware" is their Help Center software that they use when the average PC user calls support about something they can't do in Windows. It's basically a remote access, which you can deny them accessing your PC when the dialogue pops up, similar to LogMeIn. It makes sense for them to have it, since customer service is their #1 priority and edge over the competition. Not to mention, it can easily be uninstalled. If you know enough about computers to uninstall it then you'll probably never need the Help Center anyways.

That is insane. Dell.com, accepting bitcoin. I was actually thinking of buying a monitor last month with bitcoin from newegg, by converting it and exchanging it to paypal or something, and now I can directly just get the monitor off of dell with no money lost from exchanges.

Uh, doesn't Newegg take bitcoin? Maybe I misunderstood your comment. Definitely good news, though. I've never been a fan of their computers, but I hear good things about some of their other products, so maybe I will look into them some more.

I wonder how long Amazon can now stay away from Bitcoin. They will be losing money and market share by the day.
There are so many people selling amazon giftcards, on this forum, on purse.io, and gyft.com sells them as well. All of them sell for a discount... so IMHO amazon already accepts bitcoin. If they were to officially accept bitcoin, it would probably be first in the U.S., and that wouldn't really do anything other than promote bitcoin through media, because of all these places selling amazon gift cards for BTC.

This is where the acceleration of total businesses that accept bitcoin is only going to get faster each day. Resistance is futile.
