You would hope that nytimes, of all places, would be free of audio content.

Too bad for you. Hearing the actual voices and what they enunciate actually ads a ton to the story.

Yes, if you:

1.) Have the time to spend listening to them (five minutes or longer, rather than just skimming an article)

2.) Are not using a mobile device.

3.) Are using a machine that has flash installed.

4.) Are not at work, and thus can listen to an audio file.

Having a good Saturday?

I heard them and I disagree.

Eh, it works for them. If you don't have a desire for much stuff then it works fine.

I'm in a relatively spacious ~550sqft 1BR and I don't really know what I'd do with more space than that. However, unlike some of the people interviewed, I do get lots of light and it's in a nice area.

Have higher heating/cooling costs.

This was on here a couple of months back.

Dup: http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=1903833 (which also, conveniently, is the printed word and not audio or video, which is just plain annoying).

But I guess the difference between then and now was then I lived in Australia. Now I pay through the nose to live in Manhattan. But hey, I'm not 20-something. :P
