back almost 5,000 years, to a time when Egyptians started paying taxes in goods and labor. Egypt and Mesopotamia began using silver and gold bars as currency, around 2500 B.C.
Temples became the first banks because they were sturdy, frequently visited, and intimidating to would-be thieves.
By 1750 B.C., Babylonian temple priests had branched out into issuing loans to locals.
Founded in Italy as a pawnshop in 1472, the Banca Monte dei Paschi di Siena is the world’s oldest surviving bank.
Paper money originated in China in the year 910 and amazed Marco Polo when he visited three centuries later. He also noted that the emperor, Kublai Khan, seemed to be printing an awful lot of notes, which ultimately wrecked the economy. Due to skyrocketing inflation caused by churning out so much money, paper bills had to be abolished in China in the 15th century.
The expense of the U.S. Civil War inspired the government to introduce paper “greenbacks” in July 1861.
All the U.S. coins and bills in general circulation today have a total worth of about $829 billion.
There is more cocaine residue on U.S. bills than on any other currency. Also found on money: staphylococcus bacteria and fecal matter.
At the turn of the century, you could carry your cash to Washington, D.C., to have it washed, ironed, and reissued.
The paper used for U.S. bills isn’t made from trees. Rather, it contains 75 percent cotton and 25 percent linen.
To foil counterfeiters, the latest $5 bill design has an embedded security thread that contains more than 650,000 tiny glass domes, creating an optical illusion that the Mint hopes is impossible to duplicate.
In 1949 Frank X. McNamara took friends to dinner in New York City but forgot to bring his cash. He vowed never again to be so embarrassed and so created the Diners Club Card, the first credit card.
The Diners Club Card was initially made of cardboard. It listed the 14 participating restaurants on the back and had an annual fee of $3.
Scottish inventor John Shepherd-Barron built the world’s first true ATM for a Barclay’s Bank in North London in 1967. The machine was based on the concept of a chocolate bar dispenser.
Plastic cards did not yet exist, so Shepherd-Barron’s ATM accepted only checks laced with identifying traces of radioactive carbon-14. Once a distinctively radioactive check was detected, customers entered their four-digit PINs. Shepherd-Barron claimed users “would have to eat 136,000 checks” for the radioactivity to have any dangerous effects.

Samsung Galaxy S3 Specs To Last For 24 Hours — How About iPhone 5?

During an interview with Samsung’s VP of product innovation, Kevin Packingham made a statement that its future devices i.e: smartphones, tablets, etc. will have a battery life that can last for a whole day without charging it. For smartphone users, one of the biggest turn-offs with today’s high-end gadgetry is all about their mediocre battery life only lasting less than 3-4 hours, especially when playing a game, browsing the net in 3G / 4G connection or, simply watching an HD video. Likewise, this issue become more rampant last year as more and more smartphones are starting to harness LTE draining their battery even more.

Interestingly, we heard rumors last quarter about the arrival of Samsung Galaxy S III on MWC 2012. If everything goes well, it’s interesting to see if the new love child will come equipped with this 24-hour battery pack. Meanwhile, CNET also reported that Samsung used Droid Charge – the company’s first LTE phone under Verizon – as an example on how to gauge the effectiveness of a battery equipped for its future devices. Likewise, this bring the ball on the court of Apple if iPhone 5 can offer something similar for its customers. Only time can tell!
