Anyone got any favourites that are open access, even if they ultimately want you to subscribe to their magazine for deeper content?

MIT Technology Review Free access to 3 articles a month. Can subscribe for more. Apparently has magazine PDF archive going back to 1899. Now we know where Nick Fitz gets some of the obscure links from.
