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.

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

If you do not buy stuff then you are okay. Not sure what the problem is. Another large retailer is accepting Bitcoin which just made your Bitcoins worth a lot more.

worth a lot more? how so? maybe in the future, but in present-day, it's worth roughly the same.

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.

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.

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.

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. Wink

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

Spying hardware is great?

Don't buy it. Just use the news to your benefit in how Bitcoin is changing the landscape of commerce.

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 Wink

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

Cheesy

we need more suppliers to do this Cheesy

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 Wink

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.

Viva Ut Vivas

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.
