Speed of Electrons vs Electronic Signals (Score 1)

"Electrons usually travel at about two-thirds of light speed in wires, slowed down as they bump into atoms."

It's kinda hard to believe an article that gets basic physics wrong.

The actual speed of electrons in wire is very very slow - on the order of milimetres per minute.

The speed of electrical signals on the other hand is normally around 0.6c.

You'd think that the editors at New Scientist would have a clue. I studied this stuff at High School - age 15. It's not Rocket Science.
