2013 TopCoder Open - Closing Film

Every year TopCoder has the TopCoder competitions (TC). It's mentioned in the case, so thought I'd show you an example of the 2013 TC Event.

In the article by J. Greene & A. Stellman on “Why Projects Fail”, they point out that besides project failure due to aborted or canceled projects, there are other, less obvious kinds of failure:

1. The project costs a lot more than it should. 
2. It takes a lot longer than anyone expected. 
3. The product doesn’t do what it was supposed to. 
4. Nobody is happy about it. 

After you read this entertaining article, what is your experience with, or that you read about, software failures or products that come to market that “nobody is happy about.”
