From iPad towels to Apple Maps, there’s been a huge amount of gadget fails this year. Some are funny, some are confusing and some change how you operate in your daily life.
Has the new Apple Maps sent you to the wrong place, pub or a swimming pool instead of your airport? Join the club and take solace in the fact that it’s not just Apple who make mistakes or you that has to cope with the fall-out.

Someone explain to me how this is sexist?

You forgot to include 'msn tech'! Another disastrously irrelevant article for 2012. Better luck next year.

Advertisers have been using sex to sell everything for years, and now people are moaning about it, me, I would rather see the "nice rear " than the Asus product any day.
That should cause some sexist comments.

... such a shame to see such a lot of failed tech all in one go ( so it`s fingers crossed for 2013 then !)

you forgot to mention microsoft ,, which over the years has just been one big failure . every product that comes out is worse than the previous one ,, and all they do is take money from people and then leave them to sort the problems out by themselves ,,, or pay microsoft £49 to speak to an adviser ,,,even when the guinea pigs sort the problems for them and give them the answers , they still do nothing to put the problem right .. this only goes to prove that they make money by selling products with known problems ,,,, that is corrupt ,,,,

microsoft ,,, still problems with xp that were there in 2004 ,,, nothing done ,,, windows 7 ,no sound ,,, microsoft using wrong drivers ,,, even though they have been told ,,, nothing done ,,, windows 8 upgrade installs to 90% then crashes ,,,but of course you can always call an adviser for £49 pound ,,,could you imagine buying a new car and ringing the garage to report the fault ,,, and they want £49 pound before you could speak to someone ,,, you buy or build a computer to use ,,, not to fill microsofts coffers with phone calls ,,,, they are a disgrace ,,

Oh for goodness sake, models are there to be looked at. The comment was light-hearted and not at all derogatory. Surely it would be more upsetting for the model if her assets weren't appreciated!
