DI Newsletter campaign system will no longer support IE6
By Sam PascuaOn September 1, 2009 we will begin phasing out support for Internet Explorer 6 (IE6) in regards to the DI enewsletter campaign system.
Although you will still be able to access your account with IE6, we won’t be able to guarantee things will look or function as well.
Why are we doing this?
IE6 is nearly eight years old — a lifetime in the rapidly evolving world of web technology and standards. In order to continue to provide you with the best email marketing experience around, we need to take advantage of all the tools at our disposal, tools that IE6 just doesn’t provide.
Therefore if you’re currently using IE6, we strongly recommend that you upgrade to any of these newer browsers:

How Will the New Browsers Display Your Website?
By Sam PascuaIf your website was created more than a few months ago, now is the time to have it reviewed for compatibility with the latest browsers. Recent releases like Internet Explorer 8, Firefox 3, Google Chrome and Safari 4 offer great improvements in the browsing experience, but they also present challenges for existing websites that were built to meet the technical specifications of earlier versions.
Browsers Statistics
By Ky NguyenAccording to W3C research on current browsers’ usage, IE6 is going to disappear in a short time. Lets have a look:
| 2009 | IE7 | IE6 | IE8 | Fx | Chrome | S | O |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| January | 25.7% | 18.5% | 0.6% | 45.5% | 3.9% | 3.0% | 2.3% |
Compared to:
| 2008 | IE7 | IE6 | IE8 | Fx | Chrome | S | O |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| December | 26.1% | 19.6% | 44.4% | 3.6% | 2.7% | 2.4% | |
| November | 26.6% | 20.0% | 44.2% | 3.1% | 2.7% | 2.3% |
IE8 is coming on board. Lets wait and see how it goes, for IE8 is still on beta development and still has a lot of bugs.

By Sam Pascua
The new Apple iPhone 3G feels as good as it looks. Its slick glossy exterior fits perfectly in the hand and the sensation is even better against the ear.
Its 3.5 inch display is bright and clear, perfect size and easy to read.
Despite of all suspicions, its singular multi-touch screen interface and virtual keyboard are a pleasure to use. The physical input of the iPhone is well thought out and reasonably intuitive too. Finger gesture controls are actually grand and easy to learn.
Setting up a connection to a Wi-Fi network using the 3G Wi-Fi connectivity is as easy as it can possibly be, and the results far outshine the 3G throughput, equating to about three times faster downlink speeds. But Bluetooth only can be used to connect to a hands-free headset, so no A2DP stereo Bluetooth, internet sharing, or file/picture transfers to another mobile device.
Its Safari browser incorporates one of the best tabbed browsing solutions seen on the market so Web pages render quickly, and perfectly.
