For me, Dish accepting Bitcoins was the best news so far this year. Dish is much bigger when compared to the other companies which accept Bitcoin, such as Overstock, Zynga, and Tigerdirect.

Oh.... now I have to chose between Dish and Expedia. If we look at the market cap, then DISH is definitely bigger. But I suspect that Expedia might be the one which is having higher volumes. 
The key is that both of these companies compete with big time competition.
DISH vs. Direct TV (owned by AT&T)- would be massive if AT&T would adopt BTC as a payment option.
Expedia vs. Priceline- Priceline is the online king of travel arrangements- would be just as massive if they would adopt BTC as a payment option.
Start using these companies! Force the competition to jump in!!

Again, ebay I have watched that video so many times because it makes me happy lol
What video is that and what have they said? Doesn't seem like they're going to deal with it any time soon from what I've heard.
Guess again my friend

My one was that a lot of bad/useless whispering about Bitcoin weren't true or didn't happen.

My favorite positive Bitcoin news story so far this year, is when China decided not to ban Bitcoin for the umpteenth time. 
Basically, anytime China is not in the news threatening any sort of regulation of BTC to banks or individuals is positive for Bitcoin.
Leads to more stable price increases and decreases, not those crazy swings we've been seeing with the Gox, Silk Road, and "China ban Bitcoin" news headlines.

Ebay CEO interview is my favorite, but there are plenty of positive news this year so I was spoiled for choice, I hope this is only the beginning.

My one was Mike Maloney talking about Bitcoin, while it may not seem like a big deal to many people he has really good videos on economics, like Ron Paul, he sat down, thought about it and decided that if there's no fraud involved and it's something made in the free market then there shouldn't be a problem.
We need more people thinking this way instead of making stupid assumptions about it.

The US real national debt figures are shocking. It really is only a matter of time.

To this point, I'd go with DISH network's acceptance of bitcoin as a payment option.
I still feel that as Direct TV's biggest satellite competitor, it will cause Direct TV and their parent company, AT&T, to take notice and consider the same option.
Bitcoin could gain 100 fold by year's end.
