Mark Simonson Studio on the use of Gill Sans in Mad Men :
Then there is the Gill Sans (c. 1930) problem. Gill is used quite a lot in the series, mainly for Sterling Cooper Advertising’s logo and signage. Technically, this is not anachronistic. And the way the type is used—metal dimensional letters, generously spaced—looks right. The problem is that Gill was a British typeface not widely available or popular in the U.S. until the 1970s. It’s a decade ahead of its time in American type fashions.

Couples in shrink wrap — Lost At E Minor
“ An outstanding difference between the professional & the amateur in cinematography is that the professional never ‘knows it all.’ He approaches every scene with a realization that it is likely to teach him something new about cinematography, no matter how long he has been at it or how routine that scene might seem.
Apple, America and a Squeezed Middle Class -New York Times
A sobering look at China’s manufacturing power. Happy dragon year.
Apple had redesigned the iPhone’s screen at the last minute, forcing an assembly line overhaul. New screens began arriving at the plant near midnight.
A foreman immediately roused 8,000 workers inside the company’s dormitories, according to the executive. Each employee was given a biscuit and a cup of tea, guided to a workstation and within half an hour started a 12-hour shift fitting glass screens into beveled frames. Within 96 hours, the plant was producing over 10,000 iPhones a day.
“The speed and flexibility is breathtaking,” the executive said. “There’s no American plant that can match that.”
