This article is notable because it is quite well-written, and is more reader-friendly than most.  It should be reviewed when looking for nice ways to explain the bitcoin concept to lay audiences.

One minor quibble is that it says there are 6.2 million bitcoins.  The current number is 6.854 (according to bitcoincharts.com), and of course the number grows steadily.  We should be saying "about 7 million" to the media so that it's reasonably accurate for a while (unless we want to timestamp the article by using the exact current number:).
