Many people who have tried Microsoftís new Windows 8 operating system without a touch screen have hated it because of the inability to use touch and swipe commands to get things going. Now a company has made a digital pen to allow people to use Windows 8 on their old monitors for less than the cost of buying a new touch-enabled computer. - AP photos

The 2013 International CES gadget show, the biggest trade show in the Americas, formerly known as the Consumer Electronics Show, is taking place in Las Vegas this week.

It's a place for technology companies to showcase television sets, computers and other gadgets.

The Consumer Electronics Association, which organises the show, expects attendance close to the 156,000 people who turned out last year.

That's pretty much at capacity for Las Vegas, which has about 150,000 hotel rooms. The show spans some 1.9 million square feet of booths and exhibits, which is equivalent to 33 football fields.

After Monday evening's kick-off speech by Qualcomm Inc CEO Paul Jacobs, the show floor is open Tuesday through Friday.

Here are some photo highlights from Monday's and Tuesday's events.
