When cars are launched, we see the first year of a redesigned model as less reliable than later years. First-year blues, we call it.

Domestic vehicles have made substantial advances, Ford is doing better than GM and Chrysler, but new model launches are not as good. We are seeing many more electronic features, and that's the biggest trouble area readers tell us about.

Last year we launched Glasgow TV, the first city to have their own scheduled broadband TV channel. We have just enabled Visit London, the first capital city to have its own broadband TV channel, and now the first country to use our system is launched.

The Fusion really feels like our cars last year, and when they were good last year, they were easy to drive.

I've launched a lot of films here.

I have a model rocket and I launched it three times yesterday and it smelled like a sewer.
