new," said Fink, 24, who described the deal to The Associated Press 
over Skype. "And it's working."It's transactions like these -- up to 70,000 
of them each day over the past month -- that have propelled 
bitcoins from the world of Internet oddities to the cusp of mainstream 
use, a remarkable breakthrough for a currency that made its online debut 
only four years ago.When they first began pinging across the Internet, bitcoins 
could buy you almost nothing. Now, there's almost nothing that bitcoins 
can't buy. From hard drugs to hard currency, songs to survival gear, 
cars to consumer goods, retailers are rushing to welcome the virtual currency 
whose unofficial symbol is a dollar-like, double-barred B.Advocates describe 
Bitcoin as the foundation stone of a Utopian economy: no borders, no 
change fees, no closing hours, and no one to tell you what 
you can and can't do with your money.Just days ago the total 
value of bitcoins in circulation hit $2 billion, up from a tiny 
fraction of that last year. But late Wednesday, Bitcoin crashed, shedding

waiting to burst.Amid all the hype, Bitcoin's origins are a question mark.The

 A House panel voted overwhelmingly Wednesday in favor of a new 
data-sharing program that would give the federal government a broader role 
in helping banks, manufacturers and other businesses protect themselves 
against cyberattacks.The bill, approved 18-2 by the House Intelligence Committee, 
would enable companies to disclose technical threat data to the government 
and competitors in real-time, lifting antitrust restrictions and giving 
legal immunity to companies if hacked, so long as they act in 
good faith. In turn, companies could get access to government information 
on cyberthreats that is often classified.It's a defiant move by pro-business 
lawmakers who say concerns by privacy advocates and civil liberties groups 
are overblown. But even while the panel's approval paves the way for 
an easy floor vote next week, the legislation has yet to be 
embraced outside the Republican-controlled House. Last year, a similar measure 
never gained traction and eventually prompted a White House veto thre
