This week's pick of the most popular V3 stories was topped by news of the latest version of Google's popular Chrome browser. Chrome 14 patched 32 vulnerabilities, Google paying over $14,000 to bug hunters in the process, and featured improved support for Apple's Mac OS X Lion platform.

Also popular this week was our head-to-head review of highly sought-after e-book readers the Amazon Kindle Wi-Fi and Sony Reader Wi-Fi, as well as V3's hands-on review of the Acer Aspire S3 Ultrabook.

V3 readers were also keen to find out the latest on our exclusive story about Trend Micro's latest discovery - an advanced persistent threat attack targeted at 1,500 computers in 61 countries.

Windows 8 news was also popular, specifically our analysis of the Build conference, and the news that Samsung tablets with the OS pre-loaded have been flogged on eBay by developers.

Apple as always crept in with an iPhone story, this time about the iPhone 5 launch date, while BT was in trouble again with the ASA, and the ICO investigated education secretary Michael Gove for email malpractice.
