War is hell, and the Brad Pitt-led Fury aims to demonstrate that as graphically as possible. A World War II U.S. tank team heads into Germany on a mission to rescue American soldiers trapped behind enemy lines. But really, the story is about blood, guts and horror. A new soldier peels a face off the tank; legs get shorn off by machine-gun fire; Brad Pitt stabbing a Nazi in the eye. NPR’s Chris Klimek writes that “Fury�reminds us like no film since Saving Private Ryan�16 years ago that there was nothing good about [the Good War], and it does so with considerably less flag-waving,” while the Philadelphia Inquirer’s Steven Rea notes that “Fury�presents an unrelentingly violent, visceral depiction of war, which is perhaps as it should be.” It should also top the box office this week with a $33 million haul, according to Box Office Mojo.
Columbia PicturesThe stock market had its own fury this week–if nothing compared to the horrors of war–furies that don’t show up in final weekly numbers. Sure, the S&P 500 fell just 1% to 1,886.76, while the Dow Jones Industrial Average dropped 163.69 points, or 1%, to 16,380.41 and the Nasdaq Composite dipped 0.4% to 4,258.44. Heck, the small-company Russell 2000 even gained 2.8% to 1,082.33.

What�� the Catch with Dephasium Corp? According to various disclosures, transactions of $2k, $2.5k, $3k, $4k, $7.5k, $12.5k and $15k have or will occur to mention Dephasium Corp in various investment newsletters. Dephasium Corp has been getting plenty of off and on attention for a couple of months now, but what�� been pretty strange is the company issuing a press release to announce that an unidentified third party, without the DPHS�� approval, has listed its shares on the Boerse Berlin Stock Exchange. The press release warned that this could be the first salvo in a ��ignificant naked shorting attack directed at the Company��given that the Berlin exchange is one of few stock exchanges in the world that allows listing and trading of a company's stock without the consent or authorization of the company being listed in order to facilitate short-selling. A quick look at Dephasium Corp�� financials reveals no revenues; net losses of $10k (most recent reported quarter), $17k and $11k plus net income of $388k; and $51k to cover $9k in current liabilities at the end of March. In other words, Dephasium Corp isn�� making money but someone else is trying to make some from it.

In at least one Texas bank and one Ohio credit union, 3D video banking is currently undergoing testing, according to TheFinancialBrand.com, a website for bank and credit union marketing executives. Three-dimensional video banking is similar to a consumer video conference with a bank representative –- only in this case, the executive looks like a living, breathing person sitting across from you. Thanks to theater surround sound, the representative also sounds as if they're in the same room. And since the consumer is interacting with a real person and not an automated hologram, the experience apparently isn't much different than the real thing. Banking and managing money isn't what it used to be. The 1970s and 1980s brought us the rise of the ATM. Consumers became acquainted with online banking during the 1990s and the first decade of the 2000s. The 2010s are shaping up as the era of mobile banking. That was underscored Sept. 10-11 in New York City when Mitek Systems Inc. (MITK), a San Diego-based technology company, debuted its Mobile Photo Account Opening product at Finovate, a trade show where banking tech products are often unveiled. The product allows consumers to open a bank account within 60 seconds. If you have your bank's app, you can use your smartphone's camera to take a photo of the front and back of your driver's license, and presto, your new checking, savings or credit card account is open. Here's a look at other financial products and services personal financial experts think we'll be using in the future. Within 10 years. "The economic payments system will begin to 'know us,' either through biometrics, optical sensor or facial recognition," says Joshua Siegel, managing principal of StoneCastle Partners, a New York-based asset management firm that invests in banks. That's already happening to some extent with smartphones –- the new Apple (AAPL) iPhone 5S, for example, uses fingerprint scanning to unlock the phone. Meanwhile, some fi
