Bad communication

A lot of things can happen when you miss to communicate important things. No alarm clock

The most obvious effect in software development is that you may introduce BUGS.

That happened lately with the new version of Quicktime 7.1.3. Apple, for whatever reason, turned off support for playing Flash content with Quicktime.

The problem is, they forgot to tell developers about that fact and it seems that they even missed to communicate that fact internally.

Alarmclock-1

Therefore if you miss that animated alarm clock in your iCal reminders just go to the Quicktime Preferences in System Preferences and Enable Flash.

Things are pretty complicated and connected nowadays….

    I was wondering when I’d run across someone else with the same problem. And now I have, and it’s even got a solution! Nice work.

    […] Bad communication I just noticed this, getting an alarm for the E! True Hollywood Story. Shut up, I love fashion as much as any hetero can. Will it help your option if I tell you I’m switching between that and the Redskins/Cowboys game? I didn’t think so. (tags: flash ical quicktime) […]

    seems that Apple is not using an agile software development process, which have such a strong emphasis on good personal face-to-face communication.

    But of course, even when you do XP, shit happens.

    the old unanswered question is: How to get reliable software from unreliable human beings?
