The hassle of exchanging for fiat currency is already being done with crypto currencies faucets.
Let's pick an existing and popular crypto such as Dogecoin for example. There's already hundreds if not thousands of faucet sites that still give a couple Dogecoin per visit with chances of winning hundreds, thousands and more, all in exchange of having ads load on the faucet page and solving a captcha.
Given that microtransations should deal with sub-cents amounts, Dogecoin would fit the requirements. With its current value of roughly 32 dogecoins per USD$0.01 and a low transaction fee of only 1 Dogecoin per transfer to speed things up, it only takes a few dozen faucet visits to gather enough to pay for a lot of websites. I'd rather pay websites I like a hundred Dogecoins per week than be submitted to ads when I'm trying to read content.
What's annoying about that idea is that people will say Apple did this once and it almost killed them, however back then they needed to sell Macs as that was their main money machine.
Since Macs are now but a tiny slice of sales and profits, it would make sense for Apple to start selling macOS for non-Apple computers. They only need to list the supported CPUs, chipsets/motherboards and GPUs.
We are now building a much more subtle system next to that in the form of the reputation economy, where deviant behavior is corrected through social pressure.
Adding a browser vendor prefix is the proper way to add features that are not yet standardized. The fact that they're not removing support for those prefixes is so old websites won't stop working on the newest versions of browsers.
The only thing you can be annoyed about when a browser adds someone else's prefixes to their own, i.e. Firefox should not be adding -webkit prefixes anymore than Apple adding -edge prefixes.

You misspelled "it's not really free if you already need a recent Windows license".
Enough with the huge content-wide ads that blocks the content with its "static: top" position, please!
You'd think the Canadian side would produce more power, but with the current exchange rate there's not much difference.
So, just like us regular humans then?
Exactly. Ads on faucets sites cannot bother me because I'm not there to try to read anything.
I don't even know what the fuck you are talking about and that makes me really happy.
Fuck Twitter.
Isn't that three words?
I can't wait for the Y2038 bug!

Hey, go for it man! Add Facebook and Twitter and whatnot to your list while you're at it.
I don't use any of that crap, so that means less ads for me.
Of course we're making treatments for mice. After all, we are their experiment...
100 Mbps may sound cool, but remember we're talking about upside-down bandwidth here...
Disable javascript, disable images.
Still not fast enough? Disable CSS.
Proper HTML paragraphs, i.e. properly formatted content, provides "breaks" on their own.
Isn't anything better than dial-up, satellite or low-end DSL better when that's the only option you have?
I've been living with only 5Mbps for over six years now and it's plenty enough to not feel "left behind".

Okay, but what does luck have to do with it?
Apple did not invent it. They simply made it better and that takes courage.
5.1M people paid to spy on themselves.

So, does that mean I will finally be able to send images to people who are listed as "Google Talk" users in iMessage on my Mac?

I believe it's "Greed is eternal". That's the 10th rule if I'm not mistaken.
