The Business Insider writer is a twit.
The NASA reference uses "100 million years" as just one EXAMPLE of looking back in time with the Hubble. It's hardly the limit.
Your space.com source is correct -- 13.7 Billion years, essentially back to the Big Bang, plus or minus. Well, minus. :-)

Not picking nits but the limit that the Hubble has actually seen and been verified at is about 300 million years short of the origin (13.4 bn years.)
