Difference between Bluetooth, WiFi, and 802.11x

Hey,

I was wondering if someone could esplane' to me the difference between Bluetooth, WiFi, and 802.11x protocols.

I have a laptop that has a Bluetooth icon in the system tray... does this mean that when it is connected to a wireless network (usually 802.11g), it is connected with Bluetooth? Or is that just for picking up any Bluetooth mice or something?

Also, I bought 2 versions of the Logitech MX Duo: one was just "wireless", and the other was "Bluetooth". Did the "wireless" one use "WiFi"? I'm very interested in these types of things.

Thanks,
Matt
