Redesigned $100 bill coming in October

The $100 bill will once again get a redesign to add even more security.  A couple of weeks ago I got $100 bill from the bank.  When I tried to use it the retail store didn't accept it as it didn't have the security strip.  Apparently the Benjamin was a $1980's bill which lacked any of the security features of today.  Starting Oct 8th you will see a new $100 that adds blue, 3-D security ribbon and a disappearing Liberty Bell in an inkwell.

Blackberry Z10 to cost $199.99

The new Blackberry Z10 will be sold for $199.99 with a two year agreement. Both AT&T and Verizon will sell the smartphone at this price. The question is will consumers choose the Z10 over the likes of iPhone 5 and Galaxy SIII. No one knows for sure but Blackberry has an uphill battle against some of the top brands in mobile phones who also sell at the same price point. via SlashGear
