I am often to be found away from home and work. With my computer, and an idea on how to improve prsnl. I would like to make the change, deploy a new release, and get on with my day.

Lifehacker tells more about AT&T offering free wifi to iphone users:

To masquerade as an iPhone, you'll need to tweak your browser's user agent, which web sites use to identify your browser when you connect to the site. In Firefox, you can install the previously mentioned User Agent Switcher. In Safari, you can select the iPhone user agent through the Develop menu (which you can enable by navigating to Preferences -> Advanced and checking "Show Develop menu in menu bar." Likewise, Opera has user agent switching built in. On the non-Safari browsers, you'll have to manually add a new iPhone user agent like so.

I'm going to try this with my mum's iphone number. No, you gits, I'm not posting it.

Every now and again, the Macheist chaps bundle shareware applications together and sell them at a substantial discount when compared to buying the applications standalone. As is the case with many such applications, there are plenty of freeware alternatives that Lifehacker doesn't hesitate to point to.

Ahh... shipping, where the offline world trumps the online world. Well, trump no more. Where there's an itch, there's a person out there with the necessary talent and gumption to actually scratch it for you. I love the Internet!
