Lev13than writes "Apple Inc. CEO Steve Jobs said the iPhone won't be using Adobe Systems' Inc.'s popular Flash media player any time soon, saying the technology doesn't meet his company's performance standards for video. Jobs said the version of Flash formatted to personal computers is too slow on the iPhone while the mobile version of the media player is "is not capable of being used with the web." The comments come a day before Apple is set to introduce the company's plan for iPhone SDK, the software developers kit which will allow third-party developers to create applications that can work in conjunction with the popular handheld device."

You post on slashdot, you run linux, and you don't know what window manager you're running?.... That's a little hard to believe. You don't have to lie to try and make a point. There is no way that you don't know what windows manager is running on your linux box when you mentioned your "distro" of choice. Yep, I call BS on that.
