Let's compile a list of good (and bad) news for Bitcoin YTD? 2012 events only.
I'm not talking about changes in price, volume, user base or that sort of thing. I'm also not talking about vaporware or things which have only been announced, bot not yet hit the market (e.g. Ellet, Bitcoincard, Bitinstant's Mastercard, ASICs, etc.).
Real developments - good or bad.
List so far:
+Bitcoin magazine now shipping (four issues and counting)
+Wordpress accepting bitcoin
+Launch of The Bitcoin Foundation
+Blockchain.info's hybrid ewallet service (iPhone compatible)

+Satoshidice, Bitzino and provably fair gambling
+Coinapult
