  Personally I've been using FastSpring and 0 problems so far. 
  However they only work with apps, not webapps and such.

By all means they work with web apps: http://saasy.com (it's a FastSpring brand).

  PayPal, PayMill, Braintree etc are all 3rd party payment
  processors. So I don't quite understand your distinction.
  I believe FastSpring may mean you avoid having to get a
  merchant account directly so perhaps that's the
  difference you see?

The main difference is that FastSpring acts as a reseller. One of the consequences being that Europe based startup doesn't need to handle VAT - technically it's selling to the US.

  The biggest objection I've heard is the 9% flat rate they 
  take vs 3% and 30 cents per transaction that you'd roughly 
  see from a payment processor.

Well, it's not cheap but we have EU regulators to thanks for it - not having to deal with VAT can be worth the price in some cases. And when a company grows, it can optimize in the payments area.

Yeah, but isn't it that the premise of the article is that you would combine energy from various multiple sources like, I don't know, 10-30 per house? Water flowing in pipes, generated heat, gathered kinetic energy?

It would be interesting to see some calculations how much could be gained that way.
