Welcome back! Our story so far compares “Goldilocks and the Three Bears” to the upcoming enhancements to Bluetooth® technology. Goldilocks found that each of the Three Bears had different tastes in food and the beds they liked to sleep in. Trying each one, she only found one bowl of food and one bed to her liking.

Politically, of course. Right now there is a big battle going in the Continua Health Alliance over which low power wireless technology to standardize on. I’ll have plenty to say about that soon, but thought it would be interesting to look at somewhat recent history to give you a sense of how the high tech world works.

Welcome to BTNEWS!
I’ve been asked to contribute a regular column here at BTNEWS on topics of general interest to the Bluetooth® community. My plan is to approach the topics using a slightly different and non-technical twist. To that end, let’s take a look at Goldilocks and the Three Bluetooths.
Many of us at one time or another have heard the story of “Goldilocks and the Three Bears”. I’m not going to repeat the entire story, but here are the highlights.

My name is Tim Brady, a highly acclaimed Tech Writer whose intellect is matched only by his depth of delusion. I don’t like to flaunt my accolades, but I will have you know that my latest award was for solid penmanship and keeping my work area clean. The fact that this was in the third grade in no way should lessen the immediate impact.
