At work ? Cannot access some website because your corporate proxy says it's forbidden / unsecure / porn / games related ? No more ! If your proxy is not blocking Google, which is probably the case, then you can virtually access any website with the following address :
http://www.google.com/translate?langpair=en|en&u=www.site.com
It just loads a webpage via Google's translation service, and translate it from english to… english. Of course this works the same with langpair=fr|fr, it|it etc.. Chances are images, .css files and such will be blocked, but you will be able to read the content at least.
I've had a few mails from folks who could not read my blog because their work proxy was denying access with reason "Games related" (which is not that stupid, it's hosted on a game site actually). This could be handy. My corporate proxy does not block anything so I cannot test, but I imagine you could also add any feed to your feed reader (probably with the direct URL of the lower frame of the Google translated page)
