Sure, we've given you a list of our top 10 most popular stories of 2012, but we figured we'd go a bit more broad than that. We also thought it would be interesting to give you a look at the top ten most read stories on this site this year, period, regardless of what year they were posted. We must say, we're just as surprised as you are at what did (and didn't) make the list! For example, you guys seem to really like Monster's Beats by Dr. Dre audio line. Here we go:

1. ColorWare now offering custom-painted Beats by Dr. Dre Studio headphones
2. White iPhone 4 vs. black iPhone 4 comparison
3. iPhone 3G vs iPod touch 2G in pictures: Odd that an image gallery featuring the iPhone and iPod touch from two years ago made our top ten list, but there it is!
4. Exclusive: Pink Beats by Dr. Dre Charles Hamilton customs
5. Limited Edition white Beats by Dr. Dre headphones hands-on: You can't deny that Monster has a hit on their hands with the Beats by Dr. Dre line of headphones.
6. iPhone 5 vs. iPhone 4S vs. Original iPhone in pictures
7. iPhone 5: White & SIlver or Black & Slate? (gallery)
8. iPhone 5 White & Silver unboxing gallery
9. Bleeding Edge TV 190: How to Replace Your iPhone Battery
10. iPod touch picks up 4-inch display, better cameras, new colors, and Siri

Any surprises? We've also compiled a list of the stories that have dropped out of the top ten between 2010 and 2011, which you can check out after the jump, and don't miss the ten most popular Gear Live videos of 2012 either!

Here are the stories that were on our most read of 2011 list, but that didn't make it to the 2012 version:

1. SLEEPTRACKER Watch review: This one focuses on a watch that tracks your sleep data and aims to wake you up when you are in your lightest phase of sleep. The result is that you wake up feeling more rested, and more refreshed.


2. iOS 5 review


3. Yes, Steve Jobs is back at Apple Campus


4. Modify your Xbox without a mod chip: This one comes as no surprise--there are a lot of modders out there.


5. Exclusive: Red Beats by Dr. Dre LeBron James customs
