The Netflix channel on the Wii is buggy to the point of being astounding.

Yeah, I'd have an issue with that.
I don't. What's important is how the ER doctor interprets/uses the info. I use google all the time personally/professionally.

It's a skill like knowing how to use a dictionary or some other reference book.

My friend commented to me the other day that TVs are being built with browsers, etc and why do we even need a HTPC? I pointed out to him that these appliances will never approach the level of features/robustness that is offered by HPTC Mac/Windows. Plus, they're not updated as frequently and they do not have the same level of expertise in those areas.

I don't.
Nurse "He's lost a lot of blood, his vitals are off the charts, and I'm not sure how much time we have!"

ER Doctor "One second. Loss of blood... Hm. Hey what was that other thing? I'm googling it right now. Hm. One sec, it's loading. Hey, looky here: WebMD says he should seek professional help immediately."

It's actually not weird. Doctors and nurses consult other sources all the time. The human body is really complex and not every situation or treatment is encountered every day - there's nothing wrong with double checking before you do something.
Maybe now Nintendo will acknowledge Metroid has a fanbase?

It's kind of strange that the DSi XL, which is only as powerful as an N64, costs more than a PS2, 3DS, or Wii, all of which are much more powerful. There must be a huge profit margin on that thing.
