Happy 2010, everyone! Let's start the year off right by catching up on the cool stuff that happened while we were all on break ...

-As we did last year, Byte-Sized is putting a reporter on the floor of this year's CES! As a preview, here is a list of the hot gadgets already making some waves.

-Big surprise: Amazon touts the Kindle as the most-gifted item ever! Too bad they won't give real numbers to back it up, though.

--For those of you who can't get enough Star Wars ... and who also love shoes (?), here are some kicks you're sure to get a kick out of.

--There were some great games released in 2009 -- CNet has compiled a list of the year's best! My pick is Assassin's Creed II ... if only because Ezio is such a cutie!

--Oh, good lord. This is what happens when social media meets a-holes with too much time on their snobby little hands.

--Here is a cool article on what the Internet might look like in 2020 ... and why we won't recognize it.

See you back here Wednesday!
