Parents would rather talk drugs than math/science with their kids

You've seen the commercials: It's never to early to talk to your kids about drugs. Parents role play how to talk to their son about pot. It's cheesy, but not a bad message, obviously. However, Intel announced last week that they found parents were far more willing...

FCC's Net neutrality push: Is wireless access different?

Razer Megalodon headset
