was expecting them to have folded by now

when was the last time anyone was seen using one (apart from, very overtly, Lewis in those promo pics)

Guess you haven't been following tech news?

They're trying to come back and investing heaps into their new phone(Has been a long time coming) which was just released in the UK, I believe.

With the current fall of apple, companies are trying to steal "back" the share of the market that was lost to apple in the first place.

I agree with the gold comment earlier.

I've never liked it.

Nico Rosberg says he had a "good feeling" about his W04 right up until an electrical problem caused the car to stop.

Driving Mercedes' new car on the very first day of pre-season testing, Rosberg's running came to an end in a fiery manner after just 11 laps.

The German came to a halt out on track during the morning's session with unburnt fuel in the exhausts igniting resulting in flames briefly licking the rear right of the car.

With a fault in a wiring loom deemed to be the cause, Mercedes called it quits for the day in order to make the necessary repairs.

But despite only having a brief run on Tuesday, Rosberg is feeling positive about his new challenger.

"At the start of winter testing, you often encounter small issues because the car you're running is a brand new design," said the German.

"We had an electrical problem this morning and, once we had found the root cause, chose to modify the parts to make sure it didn't happen again.

"Of course, at this time of year all you want to do is spend time in the car and get a feeling for how it's working, but these hiccups are just part of the game.

"During the laps I completed this morning, I had a good feeling with the car and it felt solid."

Toro Rosso are looking to change to Renault engines in 2014 in order to take advantage of their relationship with Red Bull.

At present reigning World Champions Red Bull use Renault engines while Toro Rosso, the junior team, are powered by Ferrari.

However, the Faenza-based squad is keen to swap suppliers, which would allow them to incorporate Red Bull's gearbox into their own car.

"We are in negotiations with Renault and then we will see. No contract has been signed so far," said team boss Franz Tost. "This for sure would be an advantage because if you are racing with a Renault engine we would have the same gearbox as Red Bull, because this is possible from the regulation side.

"We will use the synergies that the regulations will allow us to do."
