Popular PhotographyAs usual i got a latest update from icalvyn via email. So today he give us a download link for Popular Photography Magazine. Reading is good but when you don’t have enough money to get it you may have to find other alternative. Such as reading directly from your browser legally. So what i did is google for a method to get popular magazine like Popular Mechanics and Technology Review for free.
So i found the hacks or method to read magazine for free. Zinio.com offer free popular magazine for iphone user. Its not just for iphone user lol its for all internet user.

How to?

So the tricks is: Iphone is using a safari browser and Zinio only offer free magazine through Safari browser. You don’t need to install Safari browser but you just have to change the value in the firefox browser config file.

Open your firefox browser and write “about:config” without (”) in the address bar. Find this settings general.useragent.extra.firefox” and modify the value right click and click modify and change it to the Mobile Safari 1.1.3“. By doing this any website that you visit will recognised your browser as Mobile safari. to read the magazine just navigate to zinio.com/iphone/ .So simple. Enjoy reading.

I have a problem with spoofing in order to get around paying for things. That is called fraud, and is a signature of a deficient character. No, I will probably not pay them for their content, but I will not fake out their systems to get it in a way they don’t intend, either.

thanks for your comment able baker. Everyone has their own opinion. For me this is just for sharing purpose. If this method is considered as ILLEGAL it would be ok for me to edit this. Sharing Is caring

able baker - your ethics will no doubt be repaid a thousand times over as the magazine’s advertisers fall over themselves to stop faking you out in ways you hadnt intended.

To the above, if they were worried about security, they would use something other than the easily modified UserAgent as their pass key. Any dumbass can get around that.
