Top 10 most read: Nexus, iPad and Surface review showdown, Google Docs security warning, Anonymous OpPetrol campaign begins

The hottest stories from the last week, also including Huawei's Ascend P6 smartphone, a video demo of the Samsung Ativ Q and Nasa's new CTO trainee astronaut

The endless influx of tablets and the software updates pushed out by manufacturers can make it hard to know exactly where it's best to splash your cash. As such, our head-to-head reviews always prove popular and that was certainly the case last week.

Our triple head-to-head review pitted Apple, Microsoft and Google against one another to see which device - the iPad, Nexus 10 or Surface Pro - deserved the crown in the tablet market.

Google was also in the headlines for concerns raised over the fact its Docs programme contained a vulnerability that allowed a Trojan to spread malware. Security was also on the agenda for the oil and gas industries as they were put on alert by the start of Anonymous's OpPetrol campaign.

The Met Police also hit the headlines for revelations that its computers take 30 minutes to boot up, drastically reducing the effectiveness of officers in fighting crime.

Finally, in a more offbeat story from the last week, Nasa named the eight men and women selected for its next astronaut trainee programme, and one of those selected was the chief technology officer of US firm Quantum Opus.
