So i decided to use the internet on my wii since my laptop is gone and accidently refreshed the page... but then I realized that my cursor was no where near the bottom of the screen. So i fiddled around with the wiimote some more and found out these button combinations that help one navigate without the icons at the bottom of the screen. Go back a page = while holding B, press the minus button Go foward a page = while holding B, press the plus button Refresh the page = while holding B, press up on the Dpad Open up the search function = while holding B, press left on the Dpad Open up your favorites = while holding B, press down on the Dpad Enter a web address = while holding B, press right on the Dpad it may not be the best thing out there, but it's something... i havent read any instructions on how the wii internet works and this is only my third time using it, so maybe this is already out there. Just spreading the joy :D PS. pressing the 2 button on wii baseball while pitching lets you throw underhanded pitches (wait for the wiimote to rumble after you press 2, thats when you're in 'underhand mode'... press 1 to go back to 'overhand mode') :)

THis has nothing to do with the internet but on the main wii menu if you press A + B, you can move channels around.

Interesting.

Pity they didn't port over the gesture based system found on the PC version of Opera.

That would have been cool. I love that feature(but I use Firefox with an add-on that does that). :P And I didn't know about those button combos for the internet channel, but I don't use it much anyway so I'm not surppised I didn't know.
