Megan takes us to Pepcom's Holiday Spectacular with some new tech gadgets for the holidays. We scared the pants off of our staff with a scary Sony PlayStation VR game "Here They Lie".

The Federal Communications Commission released a major ruling yesterday aimed at protecting broadband users from the selling of their personalized data by internet providers for purposes of targeted advertising.
