The controversial Stop Online Piracy Act (SOPA) dominated the top ten stories of the week, but it was Apple which once again proved the most popular draw.
V3 readers were most keen to read about news of the iPad 3, with reports suggesting that March will be the target launch date for the long-awaited model which is likely to feature a quad core processor, high definition screen and LTE support.
Elsewhere, SOPA made a big impact, with news of web founder Sir Tim Berners-Lee's thoughts on the legislation, as well as the blackout protests planned by several big name web firms including Mozilla and Wikipedia, all doing well.
On the same theme, V3 readers were also keen to find out more about the UK student who is facing five years in a US prison for copyright infringement, while a massive data breach at Amazon-owned Zappos online retailer also piqued interest.
Rounding out the top ten were news on a hack of T-Mobile's US site, our BlackBerry Bold 9790 review, a Virgin Media blunder and the latest news from Lotusphere.
