Didn't get a chance to pick up the latest copy of Vogue last time you were at the supermarket? You can now read your favorite magazines online at Mygazines.com.
Magazines are uploaded by users and then displayed in a Flash based viewer that allows you to zoom, scan, and features a really neat article directory feature that takes you straight to the page you're looking for. Mygazines.com features magazines from People to Harvard Business Review.
The real question is, how long? Big media outlets are already attempting to sue the website for copyright infringement.
My advise? Get it while it's hot.
