Top 10 articles: MacBook Air review, Microsoft Lync 2010 RTM

Our review of the new MacBook Air was the most popular story with V3.co.uk readers this week, followed by news that Microsoft Lync 2010 has been released to manufacturing, and the latest zero-day flaw to hit Firefox.

Ubuntu promoting the Unity interface in the next version of its Linux OS was also a big hit, as was Sneak's review of The Commuter, a short film made entirely on a Nokia N8, and our interview with Sun Microsystems co-founder Andy Bechtolsheim.

The latest Top 10 generated a lot of interest, this time looking at scientific educators, as did Microsoft's cloud plans post-Ray Ozzie, Adobe's latest jibe at Apple, and the conviction of a British botnet herder.
