Clean your Dirty Tech, How to Cheat and Prom Season 2013
Spring has sprung! Well, spring sprung a few weeks ago, but the weather's been weird. Now that it's somewhat nice out, it's time to spring clean your tech - from the inside out.
Tekzilla shows us how:
http://revision3.com/tekzilla/springclean-your-pc-2013
Plus: What is cheating, really? New show Stuff Mom Never Told you explores this, and much more, with honesty you don't find just anywhere...This clears up a LOT.
http://revision3.com/stuffmomnevertoldyou/cheating
Spring also means...prom. If you're in high school, this is a big thing. For everyone else, it just means we see a ton of stories about students asking models to be their dates. Screw that. Want to piss off your principal? Just bring me and Scott.
