BREAKING NEWS : 7 PM (La Jolla-time) Friday, Jan 16, 2026 We've been Asked & have Agreed, to clarify the BIG picture perspective. We've pivoted, we're now working on something niche, both as a Proof of Concept & because it represents a viable & credible Veritical Market Opportunity. ALL goes well, Photosets becomes "a Platform" for others to use possibly as early as 1st of Spring. -----
BREAKING NEWS : 5 PM (La Jolla-time) Friday, Jan 16, 2026 We're now Fast Tracking the Vibe Coding-derivative we hinted-at earlier today. Think of it as Physical AI-based Vibe Coding. With one caveat, it's for those who are Skilled in the Art of Machine Learning. We fully expect to soon ? cut a deal for a first Institutional Investment. Also, for clarity, we won't divulge ANY details to anyone OR any company that has invested in ANY of the established Vibe Coding startups. On a side note, we do want to point-out (to potential Investors & Corp Parnters) that the Center-Right Independent Thinkers Coalition, for which we are the Founding Members, is very important to us. We believe it can be used to "force" both legacy political parties to move closer to the center. Much closer, in fact. The (political) Status Quo isn't working, & hasn't worked for a long time. As evident by many things, including the fact that the U.S. National Debt is now north of $38T USD, yet NO ONE in DC ever talks about it. Go Figure ! They think NO ONE is paying attention. Many of us on the Center-Right are ! -----
BREAKING NEWS : 11 AM (La Jolla-time) Friday, Jan 16, 2026 Someone needs to inform CNBC's Deirdre Bosa that Apple does NOT allow Progressive Web Apps, like the two Vibe Coded ones she just showcased on CNBC, in their App Store. What say you Tim Cook ? Now would certainly be a good time for Phil Schiller to present Apple's position. i.e., before their App Reviewers get swamp'd. -----
BREAKING NEWS : 9:30 AM (La Jolla-time) Friday, Jan 16, 2026 We're now working on a strategy that we believe will make Vibe Coding look like yesterday's news. It's an Enhancement to what we've been working on this week. -----

(1) As a reminder, it's Photosets' Long Press Shutter support controlling a User-sized FIFO Buffer that's the starting point of it ALL. (2) Photosets crafts 10-bit Videos simply based-upon what's stored in the app. (3) up-to "60" scenes per 8-bit Video. Also, for the record, from our perspective, nothing Technical prevents v25.411+ from becoming the planet's first-ever De Facto Burst Photo Camera App. -----

(1) Supports up-to "3" MVC slaves. -----
Operational Overview ● Each MVC slave streams their Camera's Live Preview to the MVC master. Specifically here, it's UN-compressed photo data that is Live Streamed
from the MVC slave(s) to the MVC master. ● The MVC master controls the Camera Shutter on ALL participants in the MVC session. ● The MVC master also controls select camera controls on ALL participants in the MVC session.

(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) As you may OR may NOT know, Photosets includes an integrated Short-Form, 60-Scene 8-bit 420 Video Maker. And it includes Rock Solid A/V synch support for the optional concurrently captured Audio data. You can run the Video Maker on an iPhone OR iPad. In the past, we had allowed Photosets' 8-bit 420 60-scene Video Maker to also run on a Mac. And for that case, End Users needed our Photosets TV/Studio macOS app with its custom App Group-based Content Sharing support, to pass photo sets IN & get Videos OUT (of the Mac app). -----
