Over the past few years, AT&T has gotten a bit of a bad reputation for their network, and Verizon's reaped the benefits. It isn't quite that simple, though. Here's a quick rundown of the differences between Verizon and AT&T's 3G networks.

While many of you may be aware of some, if not all, of the differences between Verizon's CDMA technology and AT&T's GSM/UTMS, they're things that the average cell phone consumer may not know—especially if they've only ever used one network. So before you or all your less tech-savvy relatives rush to switch to Verizon after yesterday's announcement, you may want to go over some of these points (courtesy of Mashable):

• GSM and UMTS technology is widely used worldwide. UMTS phones can be easily moved from one UMTS network to another, making them ideal for international use.
• [CDMA] can't use a SIM card, making it far more difficult to switch handsets.
• Calls: In general, Verizon will drop less calls. It's unclear what impact the iPhone will have on its network, but we don't expect it to be as bad as AT&T was in its early years. Verizon's network has proven itself to be more robust.
• Speed: In general, AT&T has the faster 3G network, and in some cases it's a great deal faster than Verizon.
• Simultaneous voice and data: Only AT&T is capable of talking on the phone and surfing the web at the same time, but Verizon is working on a solution, saying the fix might be implemented by the end of this year.

We've also noted in the past that GSM might be a bit more battery-friendly, too. It's also worth noting that while Verizon's known for having better coverage overall, AT&T may still have better coverage in specific areas. If you don't travel a lot and AT&T has better coverage in your hometown, it may be worth it to stick with them instead.

A lot of this will change in the future, as CDMA works on a solution to the simultaneous voice and data problem, and as both networks start using the same LTE technology for 4G. But, if you're thinking of switching to the Verizon iPhone now, these are some good things to keep in mind. Mashable goes into a bit more detail than that about how CDMA and GSM work, so if you're interested in the nitty gritty details, definitely hit the link to read more.

If you see Facebook as a benevolent time-waster, why not waste your time more efficiently when you're there? Hit Alt+1 for the home page, Alt+? to search, or Alt+M for a new message.

The How-To Geek runs down all the shortcuts he's discovered. Aside from Alt+M and Alt+?, most of Facebook's keyboard shortcuts line up with numbers. 1-5 will take you (roughly) from left-to-right on Facebook's navigation links across the top of your Facebook page. 6-0 will navigate to less obvious settings pages.

NOTE: If you're on a Mac, you (currently) need to add Ctrl+Option+ to each of the shortcuts (Firefox on Mac is Function+Ctrl—thanks Robert Reents!). Other than that, they should work the same.

• Alt+?: Search
• Alt+m: Compose a new message
• Alt+1: Home page
• Alt+2: Your profile page
• Alt+3: Friend requests
• Alt+4: Your messages
• Alt+5: Notifications
• Alt+6: Account page
• Alt+7: Privacy
• Alt+8: Facebook's Facebook page
• Alt+9: Facebook Terms/Agreement
• Alt+0: Facebook help center

• The Geek notes, however, that the shortcuts work best in Chrome, and maybe Opera and Safari. In Firefox, you'll need to add a Shift key to the combination, so as not to trigger Firefox's own Alt-centered operations. On Internet Explorer, you'll have to press Enter after hitting each combination.

4G is here! More Gs means more faster, right? And who doesn't want their phone to be faster? Except—maybe you don't need 4G today.

What are you gonna do with all those Gs?

Today's 4G networks (leaving the semantic niggles of 4G aside) offer real-world downstream speeds that range from 3-6Mbps on Sprint's WiMax, 3-6Mbps on T-Mobile's HSPA+ network, and Verizon's promised 5-12Mbps. That's roughly 2x-6x faster than the 3G speeds we were seeing a year ago; it's closer to DSL-level speeds in lots of cities across the US.

When I peer over people's shoulders to see what they're looking on their smartphone (I'm very nosy) half the time they're looking at Facebook. This is what a typical procession of usage looks like to me: Facebook; email; Twitter; web browser; Twitter (again); maps.

Is 4G going to make that stuff—the majority of what people do on their smartphones—that much faster?

Consider how fast your phone feels on Wi-Fi, which is the kind of experience 4G is promising, compared to how it runs out in the open. The comparatively skimpy CPUs in tablets and phones are as much the bottleneck behind web pages taking longer to load on a phone than they do on your laptop. In the end, with 4G, you're talking about shaving seconds, not radically redefining the experience of posting on somebody's wall.

The applications that'll really tap 4G powers on phones and tablets are still in their infancy. (Aside from downloading apps.) The most obvious application right now is video, because apps have historically been designed to minimize how much bandwidth you're eating on a mobile device, rather than treat it as freely as it would on your home network. There aren't very many killer high-bandwidth, non-video applications in the pipeline. Audio streaming could sound better, perhaps. So could voice calls, except 4G networks are data-only for now. Torrenting won't fly. The problem with online gaming is latency—and these networks still have a fair amount of it. Multi-megapixel image uploads to Flickr will be faster, though.

So there's video streaming! Netflix, arguably the premiere video streaming service now, is only on a handful of phones. Video chat: Still a messy minefield. Video uploads to services like YouTube. It's good 4G networks are rolling out now, to get developers thinking about how they'll use these 4G networks. But unless you're an aggro-nerd—tethering, watching tons of video over the air and doing who knows what else—you're probably safe waiting out jumping on the 4G bandwagon for another generation of more powerful phones and the really amazing apps that'll come with them, tapping higher power CPUs and that fat, over-the-air pipe.

On the flip side, given that carriers are increasingly moving to payment models where you pay for every byte that you use—Verizon's got a 5GB cap for its LTE network, just as stingy as its 3G data cap—maybe all of those high bandwidth applications still won't look all that attractive. The 2GB and 5GB caps from AT&T and Verizon seem roomy enough now, but what about in a year or two?

Holy coverage, Batman

The thing about new networks is that they take time to roll out. So, coverage is limited or spotty, no matter whose 4G network you're on. Verizon's rolling LTE out to just 38 markets this year. Sprint's is available in just 68 markets—New York just got it, and SF won't see it until Dec. 28. T-Mobile covers 75 cities with its HSPA+ network. And even inside of "covered" cities, coverage is rarely a snuggly blanket of smooth coverage, in our experience, at least compared to established 3G networks. When are you gonna get 4G in your town?

It's a battery killer

Know what happens when you flip the 4G switch on an Evo to start sucking in lots of data? Your battery rapidly sputters to death, like a man swallowing too many McRibs at once. [Delicious citation needed. –Ed.] And that's going to an issue in general: The faster your phone is pulling in data with these modems, the faster your battery's going to die. Of course, if you've ever flipped your phone from 3G to EDGE to save battery life, you already knew that.

So, in the end, 4G sounds shiny and awesome and fast, but it's worth a gut check before you buy a phone just 'cause it has 4G tacked on the end of it: Do you really need all those Gs?

You probably don't.

Netflix Streaming on PS3 Gets 1080i and Surround Sound With No Disc Required

Streaming Netflix to your PS3 is about to get a whole lot nicer. Starting next week you'll be able to stream Instant Watch content without the Netflix disc—Hallelujah!—as well as watch some content in 1080i with 5.1-channel surround sound.

Starting Monday, PS3 owners will be able to access Netflix via a new app in the video category of the PS3 media bar. Keeping the Netflix disc around for use as a coaster is optional. The new Netflix will offer some content in 1080i resolution and 5.1-channel surround sound in partnership with Dolby Digital Plus.

These improvements come along with a sleek new UI that Sony says will offer "a much richer and faster browsing experience, content search directly on the device, and dramatic improvements in how fast playback starts." Excellent. [PlayStation Blog]

All I can say is that its about damn time! Having to put in the disc everytime I wanted to watch something was starting to get to me. I even looked into getting GoogleTV just for Netflix!

Well its not here yet but its going to be bigger then the Cowboys pussy ass tv and by the look of the image and the description, even bigger then the white house! Head over to Yahoo Sports for the whole story.
