Have you ever had it blue?

Do you realise that many of the icons for iPhone apps are in blue, shades of blue or with blue as the dominant colour scheme?

Examples:
App Store
Dropbox
Mail
Safari
MyObservatory
EasyTalk
Skype
PS Express
Adobe Ideas
Google
Citibank HK
Discovery
RTM
Dictionary
HSW (How Stuff Works)
LinkedIn
Plaxo
Facebook
Twitter
Battery Go!
Stocks
Voice Memos
Weather
Circled 2.0
Toilets
PocketCoach
Megatrends

Ever wondered why? Is it because blue has a calming effect so you won't get agitated if the app fails to run properly?

What "The Decision" taught us

Basketball is a team sport. Don't believe? Look at how far the great MJ got in his early career.

King James is probably overrated as a superstar who can carry a team on his shoulders.

Not all decisions provide an immediate ROI - "redemption on insult" to the party for which the decision went against.

There are no shortcuts.
