The current edition of Germany's monthly computer magazine PC Praxis has a 3 page article about Bitcoin.
PC Praxis is a somewhat entry-level mainstream computer magazine with about 790.000 readers as of 2009.
The article is factually accurate and gives a rather balanced view overall - it points out the speculative nature as well as the great potential for a possible digital world currency.
The next issue of the magazine will contain a 6 page tutorial on mining, security and shopping. Good news I guess.
Thanks to forum user mipl for making the article available as PDF on his site http://www.BitcoinNEWS.org.
Topic: Bitcoin press hits, notable sources - page 52. (Read 430922 times)
This is one of the most thought provoking articles I've seen on bitcoin in a while.
I hadn't thought of it in terms of opening up direct programmatic manipulation of money.
New forebs article. He is being more gentile with his evaluation of privacy.

Another NPR podcast today, this one "Virtual Currency: Seed Of Poor Spending Habits?"
- http://www.npr.org/2011/07/13/137818171
Because yesterday's jabs weren't enough to discourage its audience, NPR went with another approach -- it's so dangerous! "The technology has outpaced the ethics".

Hit piece ... state mouthpiece opens up the slanted onslaught.
NPR is left / pro-nanny-state government. NPR editors likely believe that bitcoin is in the same category as (from their thinking) those evil Ron Paul goldbugs, and therefore are Very Wrong.
While I disagree with his conclusions, he is one of the few people very critical of the project who has a non-trivial understanding of Bitcoin.

Some non-sense on why it isn't anonymous.

... he must have missed the posts on blinding layer possibilities ...
same guy who was loudly claiming bubble http://timothyblee.com/2011/04/18/the-bitcoin-bubble/
and some other BS about "collusion problem" http://timothyblee.com/2011/04/19/bitcoins-collusion-problem/
(maybe it will be time to sell when he says buy ... contra-indicator par excellence)

Aside from some obvious misconceptions in the intro - it's an interesting interview.
Apparently smart people do get it. Kudos to Jerry and The Mark.
The Mark is a well-respected, if not that well-known, Canadian site. Their popularity is growing, though. I'd have liked to have seen more mention of the deflationary nature of Bitcoin in the piece... but for all I know Jerry did mention it and it just got cut out.

Commentary: Why Bitcoin Will Fail as a Currency

Although I think that Bitcoin is ingenious and fascinating in many ways, I don’t believe that it will succeed as a currency. The problem is that a Bitcoin is unlikely to ever be a good store of value (a primary function of any widely accepted currency) because the (eventually) fixed money supply will cause the purchasing power of a Bitcoin to be extremely volatile.
Stopped reading right there.

There is no company called Bitcoin.
