AFAIK, Nothing. All this means is you can't use a credit card or paypal to buy virtual currency...
AFAIK, you will still be able to use credit cards to buy facebook credits, and use the credits to buy virtual currency. I don't think this will affect users.

Submission + - Cancer Is Man-Made? (manchester.ac.uk)
Jamon writes: "According to a study from Manchester's KNH Centre, cancer may be a man-made disease. While I don't entirely understand histology or medicine, it strikes me as odd that the lack of any historical records is evidence for cancer being man-made."
Submission + - Why the web mustn't become the new TV (shadowlocked.com)
An anonymous reader writes: The author argues that Rupert Murdoch's bid to own complete control of BSkyB is only part of an ongoing process to make the internet a totally 'linear' experience. The increase in the use of paginated content and the proliferation of video over transcribed interviews are, the author argues, part of a tidal shift from a browsable to a linear internet experience that will move the user's experience of media from genuine choice to a series of locked-down 'information rides', in order to re-secure advertising exposure. The author also writes: "Current worries among publishing houses that magazines and newspapers will succumb to the digital written word on the internet are perhaps analogous to Victorian fears about mechanical horses taking over from real horses in the drawing of carriages. The point is being missed, the wrong fear being indulged."
Submission + - The dark little secret about IE9 and CSS3 (css3wizardry.com) 1
thestudio_bob writes: Microsoft has updated IE to support CSS3 selectors and rounded corners, they want us to believe that somehow IE9 magically supports the whole slew of CSS3 visual styling. I'm afraid it doesn't. As a matter of fact, IE9's support for CSS3 visual styling is so poor that the results are shocking. Firefox, Chrome and Safari can render graphically rich interfaces using the sophisticated features of CSS3. IE9 does, well, rounded corners. That's why I'm saying: IE9 is the IE6 of CSS3. Repeat that a few times until it sinks in because if you do Web development, you're going to have to deal with it.
