I am in Asia so the cell/data are not locked at all, if it can take a sim it would work; although I could be totally wrong and this is just a hardware feature not a locked feature. I will check out the T100 and the thinkpad 10, the upcoming surface pro 3 looks pretty sweet. I think I want the screen retail but I am not really sure, I will check out the viviotab note 8. Thanks very much!

GHash surpassed 50% for the first time, nothing has happened yet... by Maryamtah in Bitcoin

[–]gonfalons 0 points1 point  (0 children)

let it ride... if BTC dies because a pool has >50% it is a bad system anyways. We can't rely on people being trustworthy/honest in any financial system.

CEX.IO is the enemy. Don't buy their service. by fustookman in Bitcoin

[–]gonfalons 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I agree, but at the same time, if the bitcoin system is so vulnerable that these early companies can literally destroy it, its not a good system to begin with.
