Did you actually find the redesigned site? When I go to nytimes.com, it doesn't look any different than it has for quite a while. The nytimes.com/redesign link itself vaguely reminds me of the Mavericks announcement page that Apple had up before they actually released it.
In any case, nothing looks odd with kerning on Mac/Safari or Firefox.

Front page indicates the redesign is coming Jan 8th.

#5It's great to see newspapers trying to improve the reading experience itself (single page stories that aren't broken up into a dozen pages for pageviews, removing distractions etc), since many of the other news websites smother the user in advertisements, popovers and social media buttons to the point where it feels like you have to battle the site just to read the story itself. It remains to be seen how this redesign will feel in practice, but it seems to have all the right intentions.
When it comes to news websites, my current favorite is the design for The Daily Beast.

#7It'd be ... nice? useful? different? ... if I could get the video to play.
Edit: Well, waddya know, it's downloadable. And in Ogg format ("Ogg data, Skeleton v4.0" per file(1)). So, no, doesn't work in my browser for whatever reason, but I can download and play it locally, which works better for me anyway.
Of the changes, the depagination is probably one of the more useful to me. I've actually written my own CSS to drastically reformat how NY Times pages render (a few screenshots here, among others: http://www.reddit.com/r/webdev/comments/1tm4ox/user_site_res...)
The side-to-side viewing stuff I've found really annoying on other sites, especially if it's tied in to arrow-key navigation or other stuff. I tend to find myself sliding off the page I want to be on.

#8Sorry to go off on a tangent, but: I would love to subscribe to NYT digital editions, but why must the digital edition cost almost as much as the paper edition? Imagine the waste involved (in energy and materials)! Current home delivery rates are $8.75 for paper, and $5.00 for internet. That is simply too much. Bring it down to $1/week and we'll talk.

Seriously? An extra dollar a month is a dealbreaker for you?

Not sure what you're complaining about... It's $5 for 12 weeks...
