Read News24.com content without subscribing
If you're an International visitor like myself and have ever wanted to read a News24.com article without paying the subscription fee (monthly fee from US$2,95 or US$9.95 for the broadband package) - or if you can't successfully subscribe because you don't have the required web browser (yes, they're linked to M-Not on Demand), here's how.
Copy the link or the link title of the article from their site (eg. Posh takes on US music scene) and then Google it. If it's not the first News result, chances are that it should appear further down but near the top. Voila!
Or there's always BugMeNot.
Seen in a forum somewhere:
"Hi, I am am archaic anarchist who is devided between my Buddist fundamentalism and my neoanamist (?) beliefs. I support anyone who does not support anyone."

You’re not an International visitor ;)
hey i didn’t get the prompt to log in either. must be something wrong with my machine again. i’ve had it now! i’m going to take it back to the shop and they can stick it up their asses!
I’m sorry,
you must be logged in as an international visitor to stick things up our asses.
Guys/girls,
Just swicth off JAVASCRIPT and then you will have access to everything.
They use a pathetic level of security. More than likely developers taking shortcuts ..maybe they are just downright IGNORANT.
Would recommend that you download the Opera browser http://www.opera.com …you can switch JavaScript on and off very quickly through FILE > Quick Preferences > Enable JavaScript.
Ah-ha, interesting, haha – thanks Herman.
BTW toggling JavaScript in Firefox/Mozilla is pretty easy too: Tools > Options > Web Features.

…just been on news24 and i’m not getting the prompt to ‘log in’ … guess it’s because i’m an mweb subscriber – so those sites (mnet,mweb,dstv,naspers)are ‘free to use’?
heck i’ll rather go to cnn.com or news.bbc.co.uk be4 paying for content from news24.
