I'm watching Bitcoin with a curious eye, but this really nails a pretty novel and interesting aspect of it. That yes, you are paying the site owner for viewing their site, in a way that is (mostly) transparent to you and with billing already captured by your power company.
I haven't actually run it so I don't know just how badly it thrashes my machine, but assuming that can be worked out, this particular idea is the KillerApp(tm) of Bitcoing as I see it.
Actually, now that I'm thinking of it, one giant achilles heal:
If this really takes off and the mass of the internet uses it, then that means the entire mass of the internet can only be monetized at the set rate that Bitcoins are made. Which isn't much money.
But I still think there is something interesting here.. hrmm.
