Connect to a guy.. explain.

Answer: Quoting Sharon (coz i'm too lazy to frame it myself),"Harald "Bluetooth" Gormsson was a medieval King of Denmark. Since he played a part in uniting various tribes into a single kingdom in his reign, an English version of his name was used to name a technology that did a similar kind of uniting of communication protocols in one standard protocol - Bluetooth Technology. His initials in ancient runes make up the symbol of Bluetooth.
