OK, it happened in 1890. The magazine Nature has an interview on the Simpsons and science. You can read that tidbit and more here. As the lead-in to the report says:

Part of The Simpsons' greatness is a willingness to find the humour in absolutely everything — including science. Executive producer Al Jean, the show's head writer and a Harvard mathematics graduate, talks to Nature about how to get a laugh out of Euler's formula.

A very clever "Free the iPhone" campaign was launched yesterday to actually protest the lack of wireless freedom.

According to the organizers FreePress.net:

"Apple touts the iPhone as the 'Internet in your pocket' — but it’s not. You can’t use it without signing on with AT&T, and once you do they cripple services, limit what you can do and restrict where you can go on the wireless Web.

We need Wireless Freedom — and our elected officials are the only ones who can give it to us: the freedom to use all Internet devices on any wireless network in a market that offers true high-speed Internet and real consumer choice.

Take action today. Demand that the FCC and Congress free the iPhone — and future gadgets like it — and put the Internet in the hands of everyone."
