comment Why do html/css texts appear so “pixelated” compared to texts from photoshop or gimp?
The point is, as yisela says, you have no control over what OS and font-rendering the user is using. Your only option is to pick a font that looks as good as possible on as many different OSes as possible.

comment What is the name of this semi-slab serif font?
Simply from the title of this question alone, I knew the answer to this was going to be "Museo".

Note: Museo is very trendy right now, to the point where some might say it's becoming a cliche (or even "the new Comic Sans").

Sorry, I've just done a Google search and it appears as though even though Apple use Myriad extensively for marketing and logos, it doesn't appear to be included as a font on the Mac. But it is, however, bundled with Photoshop and other Adobe products so you probably have it.

"allowed for use by developers in creating their own apps". Not the case if you need to embed the font in your app. To do this, you need a special license to do so. However, you can take screenshots, create logos, etc to your heart's content.

Since you have a Mac, why not use Myriad? It's almost the same font.

Your first point is correct - a font license cannot restrict what artwork you create with the font (and whether you sell that artwork or not), it can only cover the font itself, including obtaining/redistribution/copying/modification of the font. This means, however, you can't embed the font on a web site without a specific license to do so.
