BREAKING NEWS : 7:30 AM (La Jolla-time) Monday, June 23, 2025 FYI, it hit us this morning that if Iran did move some OR ALL of its Enriched Uranium prior to the U.S. strikes, it might be a good idea for our U.S. Govt to offer a "Finder's Fee" to Iranians to help locate & secure it. E.g., $10M USD for each kilogram of 60% (or greater) enriched U-235. If Iran did in-deed have 409 kg of 60% enriched uranium a month OR so prior to the strikes,
409 kg x $10M USD per kg = $4.09B USD. NO doubt, would be cost effective. Trump should float the idea. We'll see if we can get it passed to him this morning. And BTW, we're NOT just App Devs. We're members of the Center-Right Independent Thinkers (CRIT) coalition. -----
BREAKING NEWS : 7 PM (La Jolla-time) Sunday, June 22, 2025 NONE of the Major News Organizations are reporting on this, so we thought we should. The #1 reason Trump is now promoting regime change in Iran is very-likely because he believes, if it were to happen, he just might receive a Nobel Peace Prize for his Role with helping make it happen. Make NO mistake, Trump has been obsessed with wanting a Nobel Peace Prize ever since he won the election last November. And it's why he was willing to throw Ukraine under the bus to cut a deal with Putin, early-on in his 2nd term. Trump was the Catalyst for an Insurrection. Nothing he can do to fix that, WRT his legacy. NOT Rocket Science, a Nobel Peace Prize could greatly improve his legacy with many. NOT ALL, but many. -----
News Update : 10:30 AM (La Jolla-time) Sunday, June 22, 2025 FYI, we wanted to give this one some visibility. link to detailed CNN article on Iran's nuclear program The gist, we're doing our own Due Diligence to figure things out. Trusting Trump to tell the truth on this extremely-important topic is a Fools Game. On a side note, we fully expect Iran to try to win in the end. And by that we mean a limited response to the U.S. attack, to limit our response to that, & then they go off & try to resurrect their Nuclear Program in a much-more distributed fashion. i.e., they won't put their Eggs in just a few Baskets. e.g., Fordow, Natanz, & Isfahan. They are probably now planning a multi-year strategy to make it happen. NOT Rocket Science, what just occurred is probably just Round One of the New Norm. -----
News Update : 9:30 AM (La Jolla-time) Sunday, June 22, 2025 Two things to announce today. First, so far, NO ONE in our U.S. Govt has stated the most-obvious & most-important statement regarding America's participation in the Iran-Israel war. i.e., that Trump doesn't pull doesn't pull the trigger on "Operation Midnight Hammer" if Israel hadn't already "obliterated" Iran's air defenses. NO other President was presented with such a Golden Opportunity to attack Iran's nuclear facilities as President Trump was. And ONLY made possible by Israel's recent military successes. And that naturally also includes what Israel had done to Hezbollah, the Lebanese Shia Islamist political party and militant group. Having said that, we're glad Trump did what he did. Otherwise it would have been a Golden Opportunity missed. And BTW, our hats off to our military. They did a fantastic job of planning & executing ! Second, major new feature addition coming soon to Photosets ! Many years in the making ! Specifically, Multi View Capture (MVC) "master" support for select iPads !
Please note that we've moved the relevant Docs that had been on our Photosets User Guide webpage to here, & we'll be updating it throughout the day.
Section 5. Multi View Capture First some background, for 7+ months, starting in Dec of 2020, Cosmosent R&D was working hard on adding Multi View Capture (MVC) support to Photosets (acting as an MVC session "slave") & our Mac app Photosets TV (acting as the MVC session "master"). Lots of code was Developed & Tested. We could NOT get it working reliably. We ultimately concluded that some interrupt in the Mac was causing the MVC session to terminate. And we could NOT resolve it, even with Apple's help. So, we put it on the Back Burner. On May 15, 2024, the day Apple released their M4 iPad Pro, we ordered one, with the intention of resurrecting our MVC efforts, & this time with the M4 iPad Pro as the MVC session "master". We worked on it for just a few weeks, something else more-important came up, so we put it on the Back Burner. And then we simply forgot about it. i.e., it Fell thru the Cracks. Yesterday, Saturday, June 21, 2025, we again resurrected our MVC efforts. And this time we've made it our Top Priority, & will stick with it until released. Please note that this also effectively means that our AI & ML efforts have been temporarily moved to the Back Burner. Which we're OK with, as that will take much longer for us to complete to our satisfaction. Many months in fact, vs perhaps just 1-2 weeks to complete & release MVC. We have alot of MVC code already in-place. And, we have our Photosets TV to test our M4 iPad Pro implementation against. Fair chance we'll have it ALL completed & be able to release it by month's end. Make NO mistake, this should add $250M USD to Cosmosent Labs, Inc.'s market cap ! And, worth, at a MIN, 10x that to Apple ! Think both iPhone Unit Sales & M4+ iPad Pro Unit Sales. For the Record, from our perspective, if we had released it a year ago, Apple would have sold alot more M4 iPad Pros ! And you wouldn't see the discounts on Amazon that we've ALL seen the past 6+ months.
---> MVC does below will be updated throughout today <--- ● MVC supports (1) Master + up-to (3) Slaves per MVC session. ● Each MVC Slave streams their Camera's Live Preview to the MVC Master. ● The MVC Master controls the Camera Shutter on ALL participants in the MVC session. ● As a reminder, MVC is strictly ONE Camera View per iPhone. ●

(1) Capture, plus various camera controls. (2) Currently ONLY capture, but we're now working on adding support for everything, & more, that Apple supports with their Final Cut Camera app. (3) ONLY if the Master is an iPad and its Camera is participating in the MVC session. (4) via our companion macOS app for Photosets, Photosets TV/Studio. (5) Photosets includes an integrated Short-Form, Multi-Scene Video Maker with Rock Solid A/V Sync support. You can run the Video Maker on an iPhone OR iPad, OR on a Mac with the assistance of our Photosets TV/Studio macOS app, which supports custom App Group-based Content Sharing with Photosets running on a Mac. See the relevant table at the bottom of this webpage.
How we plan to test Our initial focus is offering a solid & robust single-user solution, that builds-upon what Photosets has offered for over five years. i.e., its Multi View Capture (MVC) feature. (table last updated 9:30 PM, Sunday, May 12, 2024)

1.) When the MVC Master is an iPad, it is expected that the iPad's Back Wide Camera will participate in the MVC session. And as such, ONLY three MVC slaves are supported for this Use-Case. 2.) When the MVC Master is a Mac, up-to four Slaves can participate in the MVC session. -----
News Update : 1:30 PM (La Jolla-time) Saturday, June 21, 2025 FYI, one more important announcement today. We plan to release the next update of Photosets, v25.403, on Monday, with the updated Multi View Capture (MVC) support that we described earlier. Also, for clarity, in an MVC session, your iPad acts as the MVC "master"
& your iPhone acts as the MVC "slave". Similar to before but NOT identical. In the past, we had offered our macOS-based Photosets TV to the General Public via this website. Back then, it was the ONLY supported MVC "master". However, due to resource constraints we were forced to stop offering it to the General Public. Which also then forced us to disable End User access to MVC in Photosets. We're now effectively bringing it back & with some important Enhancements. Do a search for MVC on ou Photosets User Guide webpage for a Heads Up. -----
News Update : 10 AM (La Jolla-time) Saturday, June 21, 2025 FYI, one more important announcement today. We forgot to mention earlier that we've moved Photosets' Multi View Capture (MVC) support from the Back Burner back to the Front Burner. And this time with an innovative twist. Photosets' BT-based Remote Shutter support enables Users to control the Camera's shutter. But NO other aspects of the Camera. We're now updating Photosets' MVC feature so that it supports that. And, importantly, we're Fast Tracking it. We've decided it would be a BIG benefit for our Beach Photo Shoots ! Good Wx along the coast should start ANY day now. -----
News Update : 8 AM (La Jolla-time) Saturday, June 21, 2025 FYI, this morning we want to clarity that the next update of Photosets, v25.403, out soon,
may OR may NOT include the following: ● GDB Object Detection support ● Auto Image Annotation support Both are NON-trivial additions. Both are Extreme-High-Value additions. Also, yesterday we added another step to the Auto Image Annotation support we've recently added. One that should make it both more-Efficient & more-Accurate. That now needs to be Field Tested. Importantly, v25.403 won't wait on it ! Read that to mean we're eager to release the next update with whatever is ready to go. If something isn't ready to go, it goes into a subsequent app update. Make NO mistake, things are moving fast for us now ! And BTW, while we are NOT fans of Musk, we've adopted his "Fail Fast, Learn Fast" philosophy WRT our AI & ML efforts. There is NO Coin to be made "inside" Tim Cook's App Store. Tim Cook & Phil Schiller simply should NOT be running Apple's App Store ! We've already proven that. With the right (AI/ML) solution, there is a (small) fortune to be made "outside" the App Store. You can take that to the Bank ! And BTW, if Photosets wasn't a Best-in-Class "General Purpose" Burst Photo Camera App, we wouldn't be doing what we're now doing. i.e., Enhancing it with custom AI & ML support. Also BTW, Cosmosent R&D is now ONLY using PyTorch-based tools. -----

📌 News Update : 2 PM (La Jolla-time) Wednesday, June 18, 2025 FYI, it is our very-strong opinion that Trump's comment alittle while ago that he believes Iran was "a few weeks away" from a nuclear weapon, is intended "strictly" for his MAGA audience. He has NO proof, but he wants to prepare MAGA just-in-case he decides to strike Iran's Fordow nuclear facility. Make NO mistake, Trump's claim makes him sound alot like Bush 43, & his Trump'd-up reasons for going to War with Iraq. Our take, Israel has a very good handle on the problem at the present. As such, NO need for the U.S. to rush in & bomb Fordow. Just monitor the site around the clock. And let Israeli special forces take the lead on Fordow. One last thing, we're just hoping Trump didn't box himself in by his comment. -----
📌 BREAKING NEWS : 11:45 AM (La Jolla-time) Tuesday, June 17, 2025 Indonesia's Mount Lewotobi Liki-Liki volcano erupted earlier today. The Ash Cloud might be above the threshold where it could cause a serious problem for the planet. Different news organizations are reporting different Ash Cloud heights. Off memory, the threshold is 21K-22K feet. And it's where SO2 could create a many-years-long cooling effect on the planet. NOT to be taken lightly. Think WW crop failures & mass starvation. Off the radar of most, but should NOT be. -----
