Want to read full issues of magazines online for free? The Zinio Mobile Newstand was set up exclusively for people with iPhones. How to do it if you don’t have an iPhone (or you do but want to be able to do this from your desktop or laptop)? (Think I got this from Lifehacker as well.)

Download and install Safari. When you run it, go to Edit/Preferences/Advanced. Click on “Show Develop menu in menu bar.” Now that you’ve got Develop on the menu bar, click on that, click on User Agent, and select Mobile Safari 1.1.3 iPhone. You’re all set. Apparently you need to do that last step every time you run Safari. Then go to here.

The magazines available are scans of the entire issues, ads and all, and only the current issue is available. The choices at the moment include US News and World Report, Playboy, Penthouse, Popular Photography, Popular Mechanics, Car and Driver, PC Magazine, Elle, MacWorld, Esquire (UK edition) and NME.

I’m now searching for a way to be able to view sites like Hulu.com online. Can anyone recommend some good proxy servers for this?
