Does the 30-60-90 day rule apply for parents AOS from B2?

Don't risk it. From your own link:

So today, the 30/60 day rule is meaningless in the adjustment of status context. However, USCIS still misapplies the 30/60 day rule, while immigration attorneys over rely on it. CIS uses it inappropriately as a sword on a bright line test, while attorneys misuse it as shield thinking they are always safe after 60 days

You don't want to be on the negative end of the misapplication.
 
It was more of a matter of curiosity.

my friend is planning to go that route, I suggested CP route and he mentioned that link.

His arguement kind of makes sense, USCIS already know his parents came to visit him multiple times, it's not like marriage based AOS where they have to prove if it's a genuine relationship. For all practical purpose it's a done deal, they are already Parents of an USC, they can get a green card, why would the immigration officer think otherwise?
 
The immigrations officers business is to think otherwise. Your logic will not work here. If you have been through the irrational immigration ringer before yourself, you would know what I am talking about.

Good luck either way.

ok, I guess I found the answer, 30/60 days rule don't apply for Immediate relatives. this link really makes it clear

Often, when an immediate relative enters the United States as a nonimmigrant, and then applies for adjustment of status, questions arise as to the issue of "preconceived intent." Normally when a nonimmigrant enters with the preconceived intent to adjust status, the immigration service will deny the application for adjustment of status as a matter of discretion. There is, however, a precedent decision, Matter of Cavazos, which holds:

"Where a finding of preconceived intent was the only negative factor cited by the immigration judge in denying the respondent's application for adjustment of status as the beneficiary of an approved immediate relative visa petition and no additional adverse matters are apparent in the record, and where significant equities are presented by the respondent's United States citizen wife and child, a grant of adjustment of status is warranted as a matter of discretion."

As a practical matter, "preconceived intent" is never a factor in immediate relative adjustment of status applications.
