    Its a sad state of affairs when the computer has to try to guess what you were trying to say. I put into google 'Bored of wii fit'.

    http://www.google.co.uk/#hl=en&tbo=...86,d.d2k&fp=4130e6fbaf6ca29b&biw=1366&bih=643

    So all but the first result start telling me about the Wii Fit balance board. Because google assumes I can't spell and that's what I meant.

    Ok, fair enough. Lets explicitly exclude 'board' from our search.

    http://www.google.co.uk/#hl=en&suge...86,d.d2k&fp=4130e6fbaf6ca29b&biw=1366&bih=643

    Then we see that the second result is for someone selling a Wii Balance Bored and Wii Fit game, and someone else is selling the console and balance bored on and games, and someone else is selling a a Wii Fit bored and gun.

    Anyway, you can probably tell I'm currently a bit board.

      I always get annoyed when google try to be intelligent and predict what I'm asking :mad:. Is there any way to turn that facility off?
