Zinio is a site that lets you read digital copies of magazines, but it costs a fee. Now, with this simeple how to, you can read these magazines for free on your computer. Here’s how:
Zinio has implemented an iPhone/iPod touch site that lets you read mags for free. Now, you can use Safari on your computer for that to.
First, go to Edit > Preferences > Advanced and check “Show Develop menu in menu toolbar”.
Then, head over to http://zinio.com/iphone and go up to the develop button in the menu. Click either Mobile Safari 1.1.3 iPhone or Mobile Safari 1.1.3 iPod touch.
Then, copy and paste http://zinio.com/iphone into your address bar in that tab again, and voila! You can know browse MacWorld UK, US News, Playboy, Popular Photography, Popular Mechanics, and many many more.
NOTE: The pages ARE NOT in puny iPhone sizes. They are full resolution and fine to view on your PC.
P.S. The above screenshot is my PC laptop with a Mac theme and ObjectDock.
I’ll admit that the original OLPC put doubts in my mind from the very beginning, but the OLPC 2.0 looks stunning. With it’s 2 flip touch screens, it’s LED backlit screens, it’s brilliant. It’s slim, sleek, and beautiful. If I was shown the above pictures without knowing the OLPC, I would assume it was made by Apple. Time will tell, however, if Nick Neg can keep his promise of this XO-2’s price to $75. The Get 1 Give 1 Plan was also announced to return August or September 2008.
That’s right. HBO Shows on iTunes have Variable pricing. The exact thing NBC wanted Apple to do with their shows…
NBC is probably really p***ed off at Apple right now…
“I just received a 16GB touch for my birthday, but unfortunately I have about 20 GB of music/videos etc. I expect this number to grow, so I am considering exchanging the 16GB touch for a 80GB classic for the greater storage capacity. I am still undecided because I really like the wifi and other added features of the touch. However, I also have an Eee PC, which is really enough to fulfill my portable wifi and web needs. Still, the touch has many more features over the classic. Which should I get? Thanks for the help!”
Well, if you can afford a new one (and you could sell you old touch), I would actually recommend the newer 32 GB iPod touch. That should be a good size. An 80 GB classic is a good choice, but it seems you want the wi-fi and added features of the touch. An Asus Eee PC is a nice little machine, but it’s not meant for holding and playing media. That’s more of a second or third-hand computer.
Hope that helps! If you have any questions (anonymous commenter), you can comment on this post.
