Google may bid in upcoming FCC auction

Google may bid in the upcoming FCC auction of the 700 MHz wireless spectrum. Google had previously announced that it would bid if the FCC adopted rules that required open platforms. The FCC did not adopt rules that fit all of Google's openness requirements, but Google's CEO said that the company is likely to bid for the wireless spectrum anyway. The spectrum was previously used by TV stations who are now switching to digital distribution. The spectrum is of interest because it can go through the walls of buildings and travel long distances.

Stolen Elvis gun recovered

Janitor Travis Brookins found a gun stolen from Graceland while cleaning a portable toilet behind the museum on the anniversary of Presley's death. The gun was a black 9-millimeter Smith and Wesson. Brookins originally thought it was a toy when he rescued it from the portable toilet.

Pete Doherty accused of assault

Babyshambles frontman Pete Doherty has been accused of assault. The singer allegedly attacked photographer Cath Mead in Somerset. The scuffle has left Mead with missing clumps of hair and some bruising. Doherty is believed to be staying in Somerset with his Aunt in order to comply with bail conditions prior to his sentencing for drug possession which is set to occur on September 4th.
