Got this in from long term reader, Ed, this morning: Yo dude, I’m sitting with a colleague who’s asked me the question above. Her iphone says it’s not compatible with the bluetooth in a 2010 Renault Clio. I thought BT worked with everything these days (I thought that was its axiomic remit) yet in her [...]

Bluetooth RIP

You’ve got to love bluetooth technologies. I remember when it was merely a way to alert the coffee pot you were near and that it needed to start percolating, and quickly.
