Financial Times for poor people

Tip for the day:
I have found a way to read headline pages of the FT without a subscription.

Go to ft.com and copy the title. Go to google and paste into the search bar. The story will usually appear first. If you hover over the link, it will say traxfer.ft.com/xxxxx. Click on the link and you get to read the whole story.

This only works if you click the link from the Google page as ft.com checks the referrer.

I usually delete my cookies when I exit my chrome browser and its a pain having to type in my id and password combo.

Somebody needs to come up with a better solution.

Having watched a couple of the World Cup matches, I now watch with the sound off and subtitles on. The hornet noise is ruining it.

Today's shorts:
The CRAS (cityam)
The UK (bbc)

Today's longs:
Gold (newyorktimes)
GLG (ftalphaville)

Prediction:
Germany to win the world cup.

@richardlogo you are missing the point. Fintag perhaps you can post a humorous referrer such as google.com automatically using this Firefox extension? http://www.stardrifter.org/refcontrol/
