I haven't seen anything about Starbucks or Amazon.... just the bill that Jerry Brown signed. I have heard rumors of Amazon bidding on some of the SR coins -- any links to anything about that?

If Starbucks, Amazon and eBay altogether start to accept bitcoin, this means almost nothing. Just a small fraction of BTC owners will use to buy goods, rest holds and speculates.
Also, all bitcoins will be sold on exchanges, neither Amazon or Starbucks will hold a single BTC for more than 30days.
So this would mean nothing. Maybe some good publicity and bigger sell volumes on exchanges.

I am usually skeptical when I read these kind of news on not-so-reputable sites.
So, I googled it. It is on reuters too!

It said the bill now goes to California Governor Jerry Brown, a Democrat, for his approval or veto. Is he likely to pass the bill?

He signed it this weekend.
Where does it say Amazon/Starbucks will use them? It just says they also have 'alternative payment methods'...
he probable means this:
Quote
“In an era of evolving payment methods, from Amazon Coins to Starbucks Stars, it is impractical to ignore the growing use of cash alternatives,” Dickinson said in a recent statement.
but that does not mean Amazon and Starbucks accept bitcoin, it just means their 'point systems' are no legal currency or something, just like bitcoin.
Now if we can just get Nevada onboard. Think of the explosion of bitcoin usage when you can use it to gamble in every casino in Vegas! All those thousands of slot machines retrofitted to accept a quick btc deposit! Woot!
