Top 10 articles, 26 Feb 2010

The big hit with V3.co.uk readers this week was the official unveiling of the Bloom Energy Server, which promises to revolutionise energy generation, no less. The likes of eBay and Google swear by the new fuel cell technology, so perhaps it's not all hype.

Also popular this week was an intellectual property deal between Microsoft and Amazon, and the decision in Italy to convict three Google executives. Virgin Media's promise of 100Mbit/s broadband connections generated much interest, as did a dire warning from the UN about the world's mounting piles of electronic waste.

Our latest Top 10 list was popular, as ever, this time looking at the greatest mobile inventions of the past 30 years, and a new (or should that be old) Microsoft flaw spiked a lot of interest.
