#3There's a lot of really great stuff in this interview about standardization, motivation, success/failure etc.
Also I assumed that "How bluetooth got its name" was a clickbait title and there'd be a two-sentence answer to that someplace in the article. But no, it's actually a fun story!

#4The "viking" on the stone is actually Christ.[0] You could say that Harald Blåtand connected the danish people in Christianity ;)

I really like the fact that they acknowledged the problem with a name like "PAN" is that it becomes impossible to search for on internet.
It can sometimes be a problem with names like ".net" or "go", certain use-cases become unsearchable.

#9Or for anyone who has already seen Kingsmen:
The King of Sweden : Bluetooth technology.
Eggsy : Which, of course, got its name from the legendary Danish king Harald Blatand, whose name translates to 'Bluetooth' in English.
[back in England, Roxy is relaying all the information through Eggsy's glasses]
Roxy : And the Bluetooth logo is his initials in Norse runic symbols.
Eggsy : And, as I'm sure you know, the Bluetooth logo is his initials...
Princess Tilde : Yup.
Eggsy : ...in Norse runic symbols.
