The hit for V3.co.uk readers this week was our latest Top 10 list, which looked at the best Apple products of all time. Don't forget to tune in next week for our list of Apple's top 10 howlers.
Another popular story concerned the breaking of a long tradition at Google of ignoring TV advertising. The firm ran a 53-second ad during The Superbowl to promote its search engine. Feeling the pinch from Microsoft's Bing, perhaps?
Also popular was a breakdown of the iPad hardware costs, and the launch of a possible rival in X2 Computing's iTablet, and the closure of a Chinese 'hacking school' in an apparent crackdown by the authorities.
Microsoft made the top 10 this week with the launch of a child-friendly version of IE8, and revealed its plans for Hyper-V, cloud computing and virtual desktops. The firm also denied any problems with its battery notification system in Windows 7.
Google, meanwhile, launched its Buzz social networking service this week, and readers were keen to see that it has already run into controversy.
