How Air Purifiers Became the Newest Wellness Craze

Air purifiers are being sold as health devices. But do they work? — Adi struggled with eczema for years. At a young age, an allergist told the 30-year-old that he was allergic to house dust. He tried everything — “all the nonsteroidal prescription topical ointments, shots, changes in diet, various moisturizing creams” — to no avail. Then, he started researching air purifiers on…

Google Just Lost One of Its Hardest ‘Right to Be Forgotten’ Cases Yet

A once “negligent” doctor just won a landmark case against the search giant — How long should a mistake follow you?

With his treacly new show ‘Derek,’ the typically bold comedian joins a toothless TV tradition of portraying the differently abled as angelic, sexless beings. He’s not doing anyone any favors, least of all, ‘Derek’ — In the Netflix comedy series Derek, writer-director Ricky Gervais stars in the title role, a middle-aged elderly-care worker whose intellect is dwarfed by his boundless capacity for good will.

Why Do Cynical Millennials Love to Watch ‘Law & Order: SVU’?

After the Zimmerman verdict, Dick Wolf’s long-running series offers what real life apparently does not: justice — After the verdict of the Zimmerman trial was delivered, I, like the majority of my wired, twentysomething friends, spent the rest of the evening on Twitter.
