AltCoins:
GridCoin is an attempt to incentivize doing BOINC related science computing. This is something I discussed with friends at LBNL a couple years ago. The timing is...amusing.
The Bank of England has paid for the development of RSCoin, a centrally controlled cryptocurrency. It matches, really well actually, what I predicted for a 'cryptodollar' would be from the US.

Bitcoin:
There was a big mix up about whether or not Microsoft would be accepting bitcoin.
Quickbit, a bitcoin trading platform, had a cyberattack and will be down for an extended period. No funds were supposedly lost though.
Crime:
BitcoinWisdom Ads Remover is a Chrome extension implicated in stealing bitcoins from transactions.
Law enforcement actually really likes bitcoin because it allows for tracking the transactions very clearly due to its public ledger (blockchain).
