HEPA is only for particulate contaminants. At least some of the expensive filters have activated charcoal and other chemical filters.

Hi Aatish! I enjoyed it quite a bit. The fibers on the bottom of the leaf may not be significant -- perhaps they are vestigial and only the upper ones provide an advantage. Alternatively, heavy rain and wind can flip leaves upside down, blo

Handling delivery of packages is sill a major annoyance of online shopping. I love Amazon but consumer-side logistics could use some serious improvement. The drive to reduce shipping prices as much as possible has definite downsides. - Item

This isn't really fair. In Chrome DNS has practically been replaced by google search, and it's great. Instead of typing yelp.com (or was it yelp.net? www.yelp.biz? http://www.yelp.info? ) I can just type "yelp" and get where I'm going with

We do give you the model's measurements but they don't necessarily mean much. The stylists for the models will pin the clothes to fit well so the pictures look good. People who are models generally fall within a certain range of sizes, but

No, the writers at the WSJ are the producers of the original content. At some level, every producer is an aggregator. I don't think it's fair to categorically distinguish between the two, although you may disagree on the value of the aggreg

In five years it seems that bloggers have about caught up to traditional media in reporting at the whims of PR firms. Would anyone say there's a higher proportion of PR-resistant bloggers than newspapers or magazines?

I really wanted to click on it, which was very frustrating. Usually when there's a new logo you can click on it and instantly find out why it's there.

Supporting telecommuting workers from out of state can be a big financial hassle as it may be enough to establish nexus in the state, which will force your company to collect sales tax there.

I appreciate that in general this attitude has led to erosion of rights. However... I don't see how anyone other than Blizzard has any right to free speech on their privately owned gaming platform. Even if Blizzard has created a new medium

I think the difference is more along the lines of: - That person is wrong, they must be stupid. - That person knows he's wrong and is just trying to further his own agenda. - I think that person is wrong and they are either misinformed or k

I have a lot of thick facial hair and the disposable razors just weren't cutting it. I've switched to a straight razor with a DE for travel and when I'm in a hurry, and the difference has been amazing. The area on my neck where I used to co

Glad you like our stuff; sorry you never got a callback! Our HR department was very disorganized for a while -- it should be a lot better now. I'm sure it cost us a number of excellent people.
