November 5h - for many it's a day of wearing the Guy Fawkes' mask and having a little bonfire outside.
Where that comes from is that in 1605 a guy named Guy Fawkes and some other conspirators had come up with the 'gunpowder plot', where they were to tunnel under the House of Lords and fill the tunnel with barrels and barrels of gunpowder and blow it to smithereens.
The purpose of which was to kill the King James I who had really trampled on some Catholic rights. However, someone snitched on it and johnny law caught Guy Fawkes redhanded in the tunnels on November 5, 1605.
They probably should have had better means of planning so that it wasn't found out... like a good phone app. For me, my phone of choice has always been Google, and well, on this day in 2007, Andy "Android" Rubin's pet project of a new phone operating system was released.
It would still be a while before they brought out the first commercially available HTC Dream (or the G1)
