📌 FYI, every now & then we move everything on this webpage to our Offline Servers. We last did so at 6 PM, Thurs, Jan 1st, 2026. -----
📌 BREAKING NEWS : 4 PM (La Jolla-time) Thursday, Feb 12, 2026 Make NO mistake, CRITCoal's 2028 Presidential candidate will win in a Landslide. Possibly the biggest such win ever ! -----
📌 BREAKING NEWS : 3:30 PM (La Jolla-time) Thursday, Feb 12, 2026 Three things to announce today: 1.) R&D's top priority is wrapping-up Photosets' Next-Gen Multi View Capture support. Mgmt's top priority is figuring-out how best to release it. Everything is on the table. 2.) The odds that our Center-Right Independent Thinkers Coalition (CRITCoal) becomes a full-fledged Political Party by Year's End, AND that the next U.S. President is a member of CRITCoal, went up significantly this week, including just today. And for clarity, we predict President Trump will ultimately back our Presidential candidate, as that person will represent a much better alternative than the Dems taking-back the Executive branch. 3.) Why is there NO "Copper" Health Insurance option ? E.g., a plan with a $10K deductible & out of pocket max, & with the lowest-possible monthly premium. And why is the Federal Govt NOT looking into ways to force the AI Hyperscalers to help pay for it ? For clarity here, AI Data Centers could be extremely disruptive to the Jobs Market. CRITCoal is looking into "innovative" ways that AI Data Centers could be taxed to help pay for it. E.g., based-upon "the aggregate" Thermal Design Power (TDP) for an AI Data Center's GPU & TPU chips. As a reminder, we are a Team of ex-Chip Engineers. Each has a BSEE degree from a top university, most from Cal Poly, SLO. -----
📌 BREAKING NEWS : 9 PM (La Jolla-time) Wednesday, Feb 11, 2026 Earlier today, when we stated
📌 BREAKING NEWS : 6 PM (La Jolla-time) Wednesday, Feb 11, 2026 The next update, v26.1, will be out just as soon as we incorporate changes requested by Corp Partners, & Field Test them. If NOT late this week, then early next ! For clarity, this update adds Next-Gen Multi View Capture (MVC) support. Specifically, MVC "master" support for M4+ iPad Pros + MVC "slave" support for the 17P & 17PM. Each MVC master supports up-to three MVC slaves. Also for clarity, you will need to be running iOS 26.3. Please note that if/when to release Photosets' "Premium Capture" sub,
as well as the updated version of our macOS app, Photosets TV/Studio, is still TBD. -----
📌 BREAKING NEWS : 2 PM (La Jolla-time) Wednesday, Feb 11, 2026 We've squashed ANY & ALL talk of an Acquisition. We simply want to remain Independent. As an Indepedent Company, our upside is infinite. Yes, you read that correctly. And for clarity, we have bigger fish to fry than just Cook & Schiller. Think BIG, really BIG, like the Oval Office. ONLY CRITCoal can save America ! On a side note, lots of intelligent guests on CNBC today giving their two-cents regarding AI. Unfortunately, NONE have mentioned what we consider to be the biggest UN-tap'd market opportunity. Fixing apps & abstraction layers built by AI-generated code. Based-upon the current state of AI valuations, we project that to be a $500B USD per Year market opportunity within just a few years from now. -----
📌 BREAKING NEWS : 9:30 AM (La Jolla-time) Wednesday, Feb 11, 2026
📌 BREAKING NEWS : 8:30 AM (La Jolla-time) Wednesday, Feb 11, 2026 We just listened to David Einhorn of Greenlight Capital on CNBC. First time we've ever heard the guy speak. He's very bright & has a very good handle on the Market, including AI & its prospects. We recommend everyone find the relevant Video on CNBC later today & listen to it. -----
📌 BREAKING NEWS : 6:30 PM (La Jolla-time) Tuesday, Feb 10, 2026 We're still evaluating our options for how-best to release
Next-Gen Multi View Capture (MVC) "master" support. The decsion is strictly Business Strategy related. And BTW, in our Lab, we have it working on M1+ Macs (running an updated version of our Photosets TV/Studio app), & on M4+ iPad Pros (running an updated version of Photosets). Also, for clarity, MVC masters support up-to three MVC slaves per networking session. As a reminder, Photosets TV/Studio was the original MVC master. And, we first offered back when Apple ONLY offered Intel-based Macs. We got it working, but because of an Intel interrupt issue on our Macs, it wouldn't run reliably, so we offered it for FREE. Until we decided to resurrect the project around A-series Macs. That was last April OR May. At that point we pulled the "legacy" FREE version from our website. And for the record, we could potentially make a very BIG splash with it. BIGGER than anything Apple does in CY2026.
📌 Photosets' Genlock-enabled MVC Please note that this table represents what R&D is working on;
NOT what has been released.

📌 BREAKING NEWS : 2 PM (La Jolla-time) Tuesday, Feb 10, 2026 We've been Asked & have Agreed, to share one of our internal tables that covers four key companies. With one being Cisco, which is In the News today. As a reminder, years ago, before iOS & AI/ML Dev, key members of the Cosmosent R&D Team worked at Cisco on chips for multi-layer switches in their Enterprise Line of Business. Also as a reminder, we consider APPL to be a "Risk Off" stock. i.e., a place where individuals & institutions store their cash when they are UN-sure about the Market.

📌 BREAKING NEWS : 7 AM (La Jolla-time) Tuesday, Feb 10, 2026 We "may" decide to release the next update of our macOS-based app Photosets TV/Studio concurrently with the next update of Photosets, v26.412, out soon. As a reminder, we intend to soon shake things up, on multiple levels, & the best way we know how to do that quickly is to Stir the Pot. NO details today, except to say that "Heads will Roll". On a side note, today we are announcing that our Center-Right Independent Thinkers Coalition (CRITCoal) is now gaining some momentum. Helped in large part by providing some much needed clarity regarding AI & ML. See our recent News Updates for background. BIG picture perspective, too late for CRITCoal to have much influence WRT the 2026 midterms, but NOT so for the 2028 Presidential Election cycle. ALL goes well, our next U.S. President will be someone "aligned with the principles of CRITCoal". E.g., fixing the U.S. National Debt problem. NO more Far-Right and Far-Left Presidents ! Time to force both legacy political parties here in the States to move closer to the center. Like how it used to be when the Fed Govt actually worked. Also for clarity, there is an outside chance CRITCoal becomes a full-fledged political party later this year. If Photosets becomes a success this year, the odds go way up ! We are, afterall, CRITCoal's founders. -----
📌 BREAKING NEWS : 11:30 AM (La Jolla-time) Monday, Feb 9, 2026 We just stumbled-across something during a Brainstorming session that we believe needs immediate attention by President Trump. The correlation between AI spending by the AI Hyperscalers & the H-1B influx. We ask everyone to independently investigate this very important issue. -----
📌 BREAKING NEWS : 11 AM (La Jolla-time) Monday, Feb 9, 2026 While listening to the CEO of Databricks on CNBC just a few minutes ago, it hit us, that rather than replacing deep interface knowledge with AI Agents, a better approach could & probably should be, to use AI "to help teach" Users/Devs how to effectively & efficiently use the legacy database interfaces. Databricks' CEO described his company's AI Agents as an abstraction layer. There are Pros & Cons to that. And the Cons have significant downside. We use AI as a Research Assistant. Which ONLY works in fields that we are already an expert in. The same general approach can be used for what we've just described WRT databases. Too much reliance on AI will ultimately lead, we believe, to major problems down the line. Possibly even to a Late Bronze Age-like collapse. We don't believe it's in the best interest of civilizations to have a bunch of Technical Dumb Fucks having alot of control over their company's databases. It makes alot more sense to us to simply "train employees up". It's NOT that fucking difficult ! There are signficant benefits to having highly-skilled employees. Someone needs to put a stop to the AI Madness. We don't expect anyone on CNBC to do so, as NO ONE who works at CNBC has a technical background. Don't believe us, research it for yourself. Regarding AI & ML, Gil Luria & Dan Niles are the ONLY ONES we trust on CNBC. Also, for clarity, every Technical Member of Cosmosent Labs, Inc., has a BSEE degree from a top-tier university, most from Cal Poly, SLO. -----
📌 BREAKING NEWS : 9:30 AM (La Jolla-time) Monday, Feb 9, 2026 In addition to preparing for the release of the next update of Photosets, v26.412, out this week, we've decided to begin Rating those who regularly appear on CNBC on how well "we believe"
they really know AI & its prospects. We've been thinking about doing something like this for weeks. Also, for clarity, we're thining about maintaining the list on a new webpage, CNBC Critics Corner
(replacing App Store Critics Corner). On a side note, today we simply want to point-out that Apple's price action today represents another key data point that AAPL is (simply now) a "Risk Off" stock. i.e., as evident by the rotation out of AAPL today and into NVDA, TSLA, & others. -----
📌 BREAKING NEWS : 8 AM (La Jolla-time) Sunday, Feb 8, 2026 This Update is a follow-up to our News Updates of a few days ago, regarding: 1.) Our comment that NONE the CEOs who appear on CNBC "and who are asked about AI,"
want to be the first to tell the truth. You can tell they're scared when asked about AI. The "promise" of AI & FOMO has become so prelevant in the Market, that CEOs now afraid to tell the truth. i.e., for fear of looking like they don't know any better. When in fact, they very-likely do know more than the Market. At least in their Domain. 2.) Our comments regarding the Baby being thrown out with the Bathwater. And naturally here we're referring to this past week, when most major Software stocks got hammered in response to the announcment of Anthropic's Cowork AI assistant.
The gist for both of these, (we believe) many who are making investment decisions about AI, know little to nothing about it. Except what they hear from the "AI Cheerleaders" on CNBC.
On a side note, yesterday it hit us which type of software company will soon be most in demand. And we are UN-aware that ANY currently exist. How BIG that market opportunity becomes will depend-upon how long Vibe Coding takes-ahold, BEFORE it becomes Common Knowledge that it was (probably) a very BIG mistake. Very specificaly here, think in terms of Feature & Capability "updates" & (more importantly) Bug Fix "updates". Vibe Coding is just a fancy term for a Software Template. Which BTW, have been around for many decades. For some UN-known reason, the Market is giving Vibe Coding much more signficance than we believe it deserves. Hell, we even looked into pivoting into it, before realizing its limitations & shortcomings. It's got its place, just like AI does, but it's limited, just like AI is. The "common case" ONLY. Don't expect anything Unique and/or Innovative. And, "updates" is where the real money will be ! Fixing vibe code will soon become the dominate software profession if the status quo remains. And we are UN-aware that ANY company currently exist to address the opportunity. -----
📌 BREAKING NEWS : 9 AM (La Jolla-time) Saturday, Feb 7, 2026 We've been Asked & have Agreed, to begin work on our own App Store. One that's at "the intersection" with AI. For clarity, even though most would never know it by its status in Apple's App Store, we, & Photosets, are uniquely positioned. And, importantly, we have "dirt on Apple" that NO OTHER App Dev has. And naturally, we plan to use that to our advantage. At a Min, (we believe) the AAPL Board will have some serious explaining to do. To high-end iPhone owners, AAPL shareholders, & the CEOs & shareholders of Apple's Partner Companies. -----
📌 BREAKING NEWS : 7:30 PM (La Jolla-time) Friday, Feb 6, 2026 We stumbled-across this yesterday on YouTube & want to give it visibility on our website. Especially since Jensen stated earlier today on CNBC that he expects the AI Buildout to last
another 7-8 years. And specifically, we ask you to think of this YouTube video in terms of the AI Buildout. The Financial Genius of Sun Tzu (youtube)
Also, just our two-cents, but we believe it should be required viewing for everyone who watches CNBC on a daily basis, like us. It's informative, very informative. Anyone who views it two OR more times will, in our opinion, have more Insight into the AI Buildout than 99% of the so-called Pro Stock Analysts who appear as guests on CNBC. There's alot of AI Cheerleading on CNBC. Way too much, in our opinion. On a side note, it's become Crystal Clear to us the past two days that there is a need for someone OR someones to help figure-out which Software companies are most-immune from Vibe Coding. The Security companies are naturally in that category. But the next set of companies is very-much unknown. And that's why the Baby was Thrown Out with the Bathwater on Thursday. i.e., in the Market. Our recommendion to everyone, focus on the Data. AI is a Data-dependent solution. AI Tools can be leapfrog'd. Almost impossible to do that with (ML Training) Data. Food for thought. -----
📌 BREAKING NEWS : 10:15 AM (La Jolla-time) Friday, Feb 6, 2026 We just listened to Brad Gerstner on CNBC. Just our opinion, but "we think he's full of shit !" To us, he's just another "AI Cheerleader" on CNBC. And, importantly, should be forced to wear a Cheerleader Skirt (whenever he's on CNBC). And naturally, that also applies to Jensen, who also just presented his point of view. Just like ALL the other AI Cheerleaders, FOMO is their "top sales pitch". We are leery of the CEOs & Analysts on CNBC who have a vested interest in seeing AI succeed. They are just Salesmen & Women, pitching their point of view. As a reminder, we are very pragmatic about LLM-based AI. It has it's place, but it's limited. We are very BIG fans of Physical AI, however. Interestingly, neither Gerstner OR Jensen mentioned the importance of ML Training Data. That's the current bottleneck ! As a reminder, Power, Water, ROI, (long-term) Env (e.g., accelerated climite change, as well as what to do about nuclear waste), Over-Capacity, & the potential for massive Job Losses, are ALL are legitimate concerns of AI. As such, we believe AI has a 50% chance of flopping, BIG time. It's sad that CNBC isn't doing a better job of pointing-out the obvious. Stated differently, why is CNBC so oblivious to the obvious ? The first question CNBC should be asking each of their "guests": Do you have a vested interest in AI succeeding ? On a side note, it's clear to us that NO ONE has read "The Art of War". The financial lessons in that are invaluable. And applicable to competing in AI & ML ! Also on a side note, DA Davidson's Gil Luria is ONE of ONLY TWO analysts we pay attention to. Dan Niles is the other. -----
📌 BREAKING NEWS : 8:30 AM (La Jolla-time) Friday, Feb 6, 2026 Our decision to pivot the App Store (Base) version to FREE is "strategic". You'll see evidence of that in the next update, v26.412, out soon ! Uber/Lyft/DoorDash-style ...
Business Model for the Capture, Collection, & Annotation of "Dynamic" ML Training Data ! And naturally, using Photosets' advanced Features & Capabilities as the foundation. Off the radar of most, but should NOT be. -----
📌 BREAKING NEWS : 7 PM (La Jolla-time) Thursday, Feb 5, 2026 Extremely Important update on the state of China: Lei's Real Talk (Feb 5, 2026) It's 26+ minutes long, & offers rare Insight. -----
📌 BREAKING NEWS : 12 Noon (La Jolla-time) Thursday, Feb 5, 2026 Have you noticed that the CEOs who appear on CNBC are afraid to criticize AI ? And that it appears to be NO different than Republicans in Congress afraid to criticize President Trump. For both cases, there's real fear there. To us, it's interesting to watch how the CEOs who appear on CNBC try to spin it. NO ONE wants to be the first to tell the truth. Their answers to AI questions appear to be carefully crafted to NOT get them OR their comapny in trouble. AI has a place, but it's also Data-dependent, so it's limited, very limited. Please see our 10:30 AM News Update of yesterday. -----
📌 BREAKING NEWS : 8 AM (La Jolla-time) Thursday, Feb 5, 2026 Today we want to clarify that our Top Priority is wrapping-up & releasing Photosets' Next-Gen Multi View Capture support. After that, Photosets' "AI Tools" that ride on top of it ! As a reminder, we recently RE-positioned Photosets at "the intersection" of AI & the App Store. i.e., the Vertical Market Opportunities we've hinted at. Also, we want to make it Crystal Clear to ALL, & especially to potential Investors & Corp Partners, that Apple's "typical" App Store consumers are NO longer our target market. Photosets could have become, & should have become, the planet's first-ever De Facto Burst Photo Camera App, but that clearly didn't happen. Does NOT reflect upon the app, ONLY upon Apple's App Store. OR more precisely, upon Apple's App Store Mgmt Team. If the AAPL Board knew what we know, they'd rip Cook a new one ! And for the record, we assume they don't know, because if they had, they clearly would have contacted us. Leaving $113B+ USD of high-end iPhone revenue "on the table" over the years is NOT Trump change ! -----
📌 BREAKING NEWS : 10:30 AM (La Jolla-time) Wednesday, Feb 4, 2026 We ask you to ask yourself: 1.) What is AI good at ? 2.) What is AI NOT good at ? 3.) Who is AI best for ? Our take: 1.) The "common case," for which there was alot of data to train the model. 2.) Anything Unique, Innovative, OR Neoteric, for which there was little to NO data to train the model. 3.) Those who are "already an Expert in the field" for which they are leveraging AI.
For the record, we are NOT BIG fans of LLM-based AI. We are, however, very BIG fans of Physical AI. LLM-based AI produces too much Slop ! When it doesn't know, it doesn't tell you it doesn't know, it pretends it does. Regardless, we do believe there are LLM-based opportunities we can capitalize on. i.e., using the principles we've outlined above. Those sufficiently Skilled in the Art should have NO problem putting the pieces of the puzzle together. Think of this News Update as a follow-on to our last two News Updates. On a side note, we do plan to release the next update of Photosets, v26.412,
next week, shortly after iOS 26.3 is released. -----
📌 BREAKING NEWS : 7:30 AM (La Jolla-time) Wednesday, Feb 4, 2026 Building on what we stated yesterday regarding Apple's decision to let AI Agents build apps autonomously, we've defined "the functionality" of our first such app ! See our last News Update of yesterday for relevant background info. -----
📌 BREAKING NEWS : 5 PM (La Jolla-time) Tuesday, Feb 3, 2026 We believe Apple's decision to let AI Agents build apps autonomously has "real merit" in three areas ! 1.) Crafting apps that compete directly with the AI High-Flyers. E.g., using Anthropic Tech to compete with OpenAI services, & vice-versa. 2.) Crafting apps that compete directly with the services of VC funded companies. 3.) Crafting apps that compete directly with Apple's services. As such, we've set up a Task Force to see how we could quickly Capitalize. NOT Rocket Science, if successful, the valuations of the AI High-Flyers, VC funded companies, & Apple, will ALL go down. We're convinced Tim Cook did NOT think it thru ! But that does NOT surprise us. -----
📌 BREAKING NEWS : 10 AM (La Jolla-time) Tuesday, Feb 3, 2026 We're gonna push for President Trump to cut a deal with China's Xi that would
prevent space-based AI data centers. And doing so simply because the chances of an Extinction Level Event are too great. We lose the atmosphere, we're ALL screwed. And for clarity, now is the time to act, before it becomes an Arms Race. Our pitch to Trump is simple, this could go down as your crowning achievement. i.e., preventing the next Arms Race. -----
📌 BREAKING NEWS : 8 AM (La Jolla-time) Tuesday, Feb 3, 2026 FYI, yesterday we got wind of the SpaceX & xAI merger, including their valuations. And we immediately said to ourselves, "that looks alot like OpenAI !". As such, we've decided to craft a brand-new table. Below is the very first version. We'll add more companies as time allows. And for the record, it represents a "Practical, NON-Hyped" perspective. As a reminder, every Technical Member of the company has a BSEE, most from Cal Poly, SLO. On a side note, ask yourself, who set the valuation when xAI acquired X/Twitter ? The same person who set the valuation for yesterday's merger. For both cases, they represent Made Up Numbers. The former, the $45B USD number, to Save Face. The latter, simply to outdue Altman. We think Musk is now just "Playing a Game" with Altman. Also, for the record, years ago, our Founder ran a service called "Startup Watch," which was ALL-about Auto-Parsing SEC filings as startups head-into IPO. Today we are announcing that Cosmosent Labs, Inc. is thinking about doing the same, here & now, WRT the AI High-Flyers. Make NO mistake, the Private Company valuations (of the AI High-Flyers) will very-likely come way-down once they begin filing their IPO-related SEC docs. Also on a side note, yesterday we looked-into Palantir's results, & were shocked to discover that their quarterly revenue number was ONLY $1.4B USD.

📌 BREAKING NEWS : 7 AM (La Jolla-time) Monday, Feb 2, 2026 After reading an article on the CNBC website on OpenClaw, we've decided to devote 1% of our (daily) Time & Energy to moving forward with it. link to the OpenClaw article on the CNBC website Prior to today it was NOT on our radar. -----
📌 BREAKING NEWS : 6:30 AM (La Jolla-time) Monday, Feb 2, 2026 Today we're "officially" kicking off Photosets' pivot to a B2B app ! What we've been working on the past 6+ months is NO longer a good fit for most of Apple's App Store consumers. And naturally, we're referring to the Use Case-specific ML-based Vertical Market Opportunities that we've hinted at. BIG picture perspective, we're carving-out "opportunities" at the intersection of AI & Apple's App Store. OK, but why then keep the Base version of Photosets in the App Store ? Because at some point, hopefully soon, we want to kick off our Uber/Lyft/DoorDash-style business strategy for the capture, collection, & annotation of "dynamic" ML Training Data. And naturally using Photosets & what we've been working on the past 6+ months. On a side note, we do want to make it crystal clear to everyone, & especially Institutional Investors, that we consider Apple's App Store Mgmt Team to be Dumb, very Dumb. They are responsible for Apple having left more than $100B USD of high-end iPhone revenue "on the table" over the years because of their actions. And we can prove it ! We describe it as Technically Incompetent & Market Opportunity Ignorant. That's our opinion of Apple's App Store Mgmt Team ! And for the record, that (naturally) contributes to today's pivot announcement. ONLY a Fool would think the team of Tim & Phil is qualified to run Apple's App Store. Here, we're thinking of the AAPL Board. Which BTW, has NEVER ONCE contacted us, even though we've pointed-out "precisely" where & how Apple screw'd-up, & which led to their $100B+ USD "blunder". NO ONE should be surprised if we (ultimately) get Credit for ousting Tim & Phil. You think the other members of the AAPL Board will want to go down with the ship. NO WAY, they're gonna toss Tim & Phil overboard. Either that, OR Under the Bus. You heard it here first !

📌 BREAKING NEWS : 10 AM (La Jolla-time) Sunday, Feb 1, 2026 We hope to have the chance to ask the AAPL Board (in private): "Please tell us what Tim Cook has accomplished as Apple's CEO above & beyond what a well-trained Monkey could have accomplished". And, we're dead serious. We're NOT fans of the Far-Right, but we're even less fans of the Far-Left. If Tim Cook & Phil Schiller need to become "sacrificial lambs" to help save America, i.e., move both legacy politcal parties closer to the center, so be it. At a Min, we need Tim Cook to Fess Up to President Trump, with us in attendance. We believe we could then use that to help obtain a "grant" (maybe even from our U.S. Govt) for our Space Junk Detector efforts. Which BTW, is something that is really important to us. The requests for new satellites is Out of (f..king) Control. e.g., SpaceX, the Chinese companies, Amazon, etc. After what we ALL saw with "his" DOGE efforts, who the f..k would trust Elon Musk to do the right thing (with satellites AND/OR space-based AI data centers). The guy has "at least a few" screws loose. SpaceX's request on Friday for 1M more satellites really pissed us off. To us, NOT just a Call to Action, but a Call to Arms. We will simply NOT allow SpaceX to trigger an Extinction Level Event. OR, become the Catalyst for a Late Bronze Age-like Collapse. We will do our part to get the word out. -----
📌 BREAKING NEWS : 7 AM (La Jolla-time) Sunday, Feb 1, 2026 Today we want to announce that the delay in releasing the next update of Photosets, v26.412, is due to the fact that we're developing one of the very-first Burst Photo-based Mixture of Experts (MoE) AI Models, AND that it leverages Photosets' Next-Gen Multi View Capture support. As such, it's a NON-trivial R&D project ! Both Development & Verification. To our knoweledge, NONE of the MAG7 have anything like what we're working on ! And for clarity, ONLY made possible by the fact that Photosets' is Light Years Ahead of ALL other Camera Apps in Burst Photo Technology & Applications/Use-Case support. Off the radar of most, but (probably) should NOT be. Especially to the AAPL Board. Who, we suspect, will soon have some serious explaining to do. Both to AAPL shareholders, and, very-likely, to President Trump. It's simply NOT OK to suppress American innovation. NOT while Trump is President ! Apple's Board & Mgmt may soon learn a very valuable lesson. The gist here, we're going on the Offensive. Make NO mistake, there is alot of value in being Responsible for, & getting Credit for,
the ousting of Cook & Schiller. And for clarity, they dug the hole that Apple is in. We had nothing to do with it, except for our Perseverance (& rare Insight), that is. -----
📌 BREAKING NEWS : 3:30 PM (La Jolla-time) Saturday, Jan 31, 2026 We're now preparing for a Presentation to try to secure a "grant" to fast track Photosets' Space Junk Detector. Here's a Heads Up of the BIG picture perspective. Note that each represents a Use Case-specific ML-based Vertical Market opportunity. Please also note that we have intentionally NOT included our 2nd Specialty Robot idea. We see that as more of a follow-on project & feature.

📌 BREAKING NEWS : 8:30 AM (La Jolla-time) Saturday, Jan 31, 2026 Late yesterday, SpaceX filed plans with the FCC to put 1M more satellites into orbit ! We believe the Environmental consequence of that could be catastrophic to ALL life on this planet. Worst case, it leads to an Extinction Level Event. Best Case, it leads to a Late Bronze Age-like collapse. We believe Brendon Carr needs to put an immediate stop to the nonsense ! And, we're prepared to (even) recuit MAGA to make it happen. i.e., (our) CRITCoal is prepared to recuit. Also, we ask everyone to reserach & get up to speed on "Kessler Syndrome". Additionally, as a reminder, SpaceX's Starlink constellation currently has ~9,600 satellites. Does Musk really want SpaceX to become synonymous with Space Junk ? Because it will happen if left UN-checked. Our take, every person on this planet should be doing whatever they can to protect the Atmosphere. Without it we're ALL doomed. On a side note, today we've prioritized our Space Junk (Detector) Vertical Market solution. We're gonna try to get a $1M USD Grant to rapidly prototype it. See our 8 AM Jan 25th News Update. -----
📌 BREAKING NEWS : 9 AM (La Jolla-time) Friday, Jan 30, 2026 Heads Up, with v26.412, out soon, we'll be promoting Photosets as an AI Tool for: 1.) producing dynamic, multi-view ML training data & 2.) verifying Specialty Robots. And for clarity, we mean even the App Store (Base) version, NOT just the app's (upcoming) "Premium Capture" sub. As you very-likely know, Apple's App Store is focused-on & obsessed-on on apps for the Young & the Dumb. You can see evidence of that just-about every day in the Today tab of their App Store app. As such, we believe there is signficant opportunity for us to (quickly) carve-out "a moat" at the intersection of AI/ML and iOS. And naturally, using our Photosets as the foundation. -----
📌 BREAKING NEWS : 8 PM (La Jolla-time) Thursday, Jan 29, 2026 Heads Up, we will soon be promoting Photosets' upcoming "Premium Capture" sub strictly as an AI Tool for: 1.) producing dynamic, multi-view ML training data & 2.) verifying Specialty Robots. And naturally we'll be using our 2nd Specialty Robot (idea) in the User/Developer Documentation. Also, we'll probably price the sub at $7.99 USD per month. See the relevant tables below. -----
BREAKING NEWS : 5 PM (La Jolla-time) Thursday, Jan 29, 2026 We've figured-out two different ways to accomplish what we had described earlier today, one that is purely physical, & another that's 50% physcial plus an enhancement of Photosets' Next-Gen Multi View Capture support. They're both Specialty Robots. And, importantly, we may end up implementing both. Both have wide applicability. Also, for clarity, we do have High-Precision PID Servo expertise. And we'll be leveraging that for this effort. We mention this because we were asked about it today. Also, importantly, we'll be using Photosets both to produce ML training data,
& to verify the product(s) before release. Photosets is a Tool with lots of utility ! Off the radar of most but should NOT be. Search for Specialty Robot on our News webpage if interested in background info. -----
BREAKING NEWS : 10 AM (La Jolla-time) Thursday, Jan 29, 2026
BREAKING NEWS : 8 AM (La Jolla-time) Thursday, Jan 29, 2026
we are very BIG fans of Physical AI & ML. Also, for the record, do NOT be surprised if our pursuit of this 2nd Specialty Robot
makes Apple look out-of-touch. -----
BREAKING NEWS : 7 PM (La Jolla-time) Wednesday, Jan 28, 2026 The Farmer's Open at Torrey Pines kicks off tomorrow. And it's basically walking distance from the Office. At low tide it's even doable to walk there via La Jolla Shores. We mention this today in-part because Golf is one of the Vertical Market opportunities we're pursuing. The gist, the event is reminding us that we need to wrap-up Photosets' "Golf vertical market solution". -----
BREAKING NEWS : 3 PM (La Jolla-time) Wednesday, Jan 28, 2026 Important Reminder, Photosets' Next-Gen Multi View Capture (MVC) is a multi-device solution:
● Supported MVC "slaves":
iPhones with per-GPU Neural Accelerators. ● Supported MVC "masters": M4+ Macs running Photosets TV/Studio & M4+ iPad Pros running Photosets. (Here, we have both MVC masters working in our Lab. Which to release first is strictly a Business Strategy Decision.) -----BREAKING NEWS : 9 AM (La Jolla-time) Wednesday, Jan 28, 2026 Three more things to announce today: 1.) Our top priority is wrapping-up & releasing Photosets' Next-Gen Multi View Capture (MVC) support. It has rare, true Game Changer potential,
especially for Use Case-specific ML-based Vertical Market opportunities. 2.) We want to clarify our reasoning regarding CNBC. Like Cook & Schiller, & every member of Apple's Board, Ives & Munster have NO Engineering OR Software Development experience, & NO known OR proven "Camera App" Domain/Applications/Use-Case expertise. So guess who CNBC will have on their program tomorrow AFTER Apple's Earnings release ? You guessed it, the blind leading the blind ! 3.) We just listened to Altimeter's Gerstner on CNBC. To us, like many others CNBC has on their program, he's just an "AI Cheerleader". We don't trust anything he (OR the other "AI Cheerleaders") say. As we've stated before, we believe OpenAI will ultimately trade at 1/6th of its peak. Power, Water, ROI, (long-term) Env (e.g., nuclear waste), Over-Capacity, & the potential for massive Job Losses, are ALL are legitimate concerns. -----
BREAKING NEWS : 8 AM (La Jolla-time) Wednesday, Jan 28, 2026 We predict Apple will announce Tim's retirement date tomorrow, but won't say who replaces him. Regardless, it's a BIG step in the right direction ! Also, for the record, we believe Apple's next CEO should be someone with
an Applications/Use-Cases background (using Apple HW products). If Apple has a VP of Applications Engineering,
we believe that person should be "in the mix" to become Apple's next CEO. We have nothing against John Ternus, we just don't think he has the right background. Under Cook, Apple has NEVER ONCE come close to reaching its TAM. And we believe we've proven that ! Off the radar of most, but should NOT have been. Make NO mistake, CNBC should change their name to "CNBC for Dummies".

BREAKING NEWS : 10 AM (La Jolla-time) Tuesday, Jan 27, 2026 Today we are announcing that we're close to cutting a "Private Label" deal with a well-respected, legacy engine block parts company for a set of custom BMW N52B30 piston rings: ● Top: 1.2 mm ● Second: 1.5 mm ● Oil Control: 2.0 mm As a reminder, the ring sets are needed both for our N52B30 Alusil cylinder wall "reconditioning" service, as well as for our E90 M3 Lite (which gets the service as part of the overall rebuild). Also, for clarity, it's the combo of the honing & lapping of the Alusil cylinder walls + the purpose-built custom piston rings, that makes the solution both High-Perf & High-Value.
"Slower to 60, but Faster out the (showroom) door (than EVs)" That's our sales pitch ! (table last updated 9:30 PM, Tues, Jan 6, 2026)

BREAKING NEWS : 8 AM (La Jolla-time) Monday, Jan 26, 2026 Three things to announce today: 1.) A High-Level Breakdown of our activities: ● Photosets Division (50%) ● App Store (Base) version (~1%) ● Use Case-specific ML-based Vertical Market Opportunities (~49%) ● Auto Division (50%) ● N52B30 Alusil cylinder wall "reconditioning" service (~25%) ● E90 M3 Lite (~25%) 2.) Like many Americans, we are extremely pissed-off at the Trump administration right now ! NOT Rocket Science, Trump's strategy of making-up his own Narrative back-fired BIG time. Did he NOT think people were using their cell phones to capture the incident ? NO way to sugar coat it, we believe it's time to start questioning Trump's IQ. We ALL saw what happened in Davos. Trump may be aging extremely fast right now. We ALL saw what happened with Slow Joe. And for the record, most of us here are Center-Right. 3.) A heads up: "Then I will execute the Law. I have no tribe, and no one is offended" NO ONE should be surprised if Center-Right AND/OR Center-Left coalitions use that for their 'cause. NOT Rocket Sceince, America NO LONGER works well with just the two super-polarized legacy political parties. Center-Right AND Center-Left alternatives are needed. And if NOT now, when ? Read that to mean "now" is very-likely the perfect time (to get the ball rolling). -----
BREAKING NEWS : 8 AM (La Jolla-time) Sunday, Jan 25, 2026 A new Vertical Market opportunity presented itself today, & we're jumping on it ! It's Space Junk-related ! Details to follow ... But we will say this today, it leverages the 3i/Atlas support we were working on last year. -----
BREAKING NEWS : 11:30 AM (La Jolla-time) Saturday, Jan 24, 2026 We made good progress on our (prototype) E90 M3 Lite the past two days. As such, both it & our N52B30 Alusil cylinder wall "refurbishing service" are Back On ! Both had been (mostly) on the Back Burner. And BTW, we estimate the refurbishing service represents a $1B+ USD revenue opportunity. And that our E90 M3 Lite represents at least that. Also, for clarity, if/when we pivot to a Specialty Robot-based solution for the refurbishing service is TBD. As we've stated before, the first 100 engine blocks will be done manually. Priced at $10K USD per. Also for clarity, in an ideal world, our Auto Division would generate half our Revenue. With the other half coming from Photosets-based solutions. Mostly from the Use Case-specific ML-based Capture support that we've described. i.e., the Veritical Market opportunities. -----
BREAKING NEWS : 8 AM (La Jolla-time) Friday, Jan 23, 2026 We just listened to Byron Deeter of Bessemer on CNBC. Our take, "What the hell is that guy smoking ?" His $9T USD projection is (by our count) 9x too high ! We strongly believe CNBC needs to start presenting a Disclaimer whenever ANY CEO or VC "with a vested interest in seeing AI succeed" presents their point of view. Too much blind-faith cheerleading ! Deeter made some good points, but (we believe) he doesn't truly understand what's driving it ALL. FOMO is driving it ! And if you listen to Deeter's comments, he's kind of hinting at that in a round-about way at the tail-end of his Sales Pitch. i.e., if you don't jump on the AI Bandwagon, you're fucked. Paraphrashing of course. Also, for clarity, we do think AI & ML will be a success, but it's ONLY good for certain things. The data used to train the models is critically important. See #2 in our last News Update of yesterday for some background info. Also, for the record, we do agree with Deeter's comments regarding Veritical vs Horizontal. We've recently pivoted away from Horizontal (i.e., Apple's App Store) to Use Case-specific ML-based Veritical Market opportunities. And naturally using our Photosets as "a Platform". -----
BREAKING NEWS : 10 AM (La Jolla-time) Thursday, Jan 22, 2026 Two more things to announce today: 1.) Regarding Photosets' Next-Gen Multi View Capture (MVC) support, we're ONLY supporting the M4+ iPad Pro as an MVC "master". The M4 iPad Pro has per-CPU Neural Accelerators,
the M5 iPad Pro has both per-CPU & per-GPU Neural Accelerators. We need those for the app's Use Case-specific ML-based Capture support. Also, for clarity, we still plan to release an update to our macOS-based app, Photosets TV/Studio, with Next-Gen MVC "master" support. As a reminder, it was the original MVC "master". 2.) Heated discussions on CNBC during the 9 AM hour regarding AI, whether it's in a Bubble OR NOT, & it's prospects for the near-future. Our take, AI is significantly Over-Hyped & has significantly Under-Delivered. AI is very good for Common Tasks for which there is alot of relevant data, but outside of that, it sucks BIG time ! AI has NO "real" concept of innovation ! And that comes down to the Training Data used to train the models. Also, for the record, the people who are Hyping AI the most on CNBC have a vested interest in seeing it succeed. i.e., the Salesmen & women who run the AI-ONLY companies. We do NOT think it's smart to have both feet in AI & ML, because we do believe it will implode at some point. Whether that's due to Power, Water, ROI, (long-term) Env (e.g., nuclear waste), Over-Capacity, OR simply massive Job Losses, is hard to predict, but ALL are legitimate concerns. And it doesn't even necessarily need to be a Technical issue, could be Politics that halts it. To us, even the medium-term implications of AI & ML have NOT been thought through. NO ONE shoud be surprised if OpenAI ends-up trading at 1/6th of their peak. Also, for the record, we believe some inefficiencies are necessary to maintain maximum employment. -----
BREAKING NEWS : 8:30 AM (La Jolla-time) Thursday, Jan 22, 2026 Three things to announce: 1.) The next update of Photosets, v26.412, with Next-Gen Multi View Capture (MVC) support, out soon ! For clarity, MVC makes it easier to Capture, Collect, & Annotate ML Training Data. And BTW, you can think of what we're up-to as a combo of Scale AI & Cursor. And naturally, (strictly) for "Dynamic" Use Cases. 2.) We are NOT moving our first Specialty Robot to the Front Burner. It will remain on the Back Burner. And Yes, this is related to automating the process of "refurbishing" Alusil cylinder walls. We'll do the first 100 manually. We're working on the very first now. 3.) NO way to sugar coat it, Elon Musk is a Fool ! We just listened to his comments at the World Economic Forum in Davos. He's just a Salesman promoting his ideas. Most of which we do NOT agree with. Of course Musk wants people to believe there could eventually be more Robots than People on the planet. That will help him attract more investors. ----- BREAKING NEWS : 8 AM (La Jolla-time) Wednesday, Jan 21, 2026 Our 1st Specialty Robot may be back on ! We've been asked (& have agreed) to make a presentation later today. As a reminder, this is related to automating the "refurbishing" of Alusil cylinder walls ! E.g., for BMW N52B30 engine blocks. The important thing to know is that it represents an UN-tap'd Billion Dollar Plus (vertical) market opportunity. -----
BREAKING NEWS : 9 PM (La Jolla-time) Tuesday, Jan 20, 2026 Actually, there's one more thing. We forgot to mention that "Slow on the Draw" Cramer actually said something earlier today that we fully agree with: link to article on CNBC
-----
BREAKING NEWS : 8:30 PM (La Jolla-time) Tuesday, Jan 20, 2026 One more thing to announce today before closing shop for the day. We want to clarity that the Specialty Robot that we've described for automating the "refurbishing" of Alusil engine block cylinder walls is NOT one of the four AI/ML algorithms that we're currently working on. That's currenty on the back burner. It represents an UN-tap'd Billion Dollar Plus opportunity, & we are very-likely one of the very few companies that could pull it off, but we simply have NO spare cycles right now as our plate is completely full (with Photosets-related AI/ML algorithms). Do a search for "N52" on our News webpage for relevant background info. -----
BREAKING NEWS : 7 PM (La Jolla-time) Tuesday, Jan 20, 2026 Tim may NOT like it, but we're now looking to include our ML-based GDB Detector in a near-future update of the App Store (i.e., Base) version of Photosets. BIG picture perspective, we need to Shake Things Up (before it's too late), & the best way we know how to do that, is to Stir the Pot. For clarity, when detected, the GDB Detector will (simply) automatically trigger (burst photo) capture
(via our custom ML algorithm). And BTW, what we've described represents just one of the four AI/ML algorithms we're currently working on. Also for clarity, GDB used to represent Gravity-Defying Breasts, but today we've changed it to Gravity-Defying Bodies OR Butts, because that's probably more socially acceptable. Keep that to yourself. Consider it Insider Information. -----
BREAKING NEWS : 1 PM (La Jolla-time) Tuesday, Jan 20, 2026 We're Fast Tracking our 4th AI/ML algorithm ! It's the one for Teens that we hinted at earlier. For clarity, we've made NO decision yet on how we'll release it. i.e., do we include it in the App Store (Base) version of Photosets ?, OR, do we include it in Photosets' (yet to be released) "Premium Capture" sub ? OR, do we offer it as a "carrot" to potential Corp Partners to cut a deal with us ? All three options are on the table. Also for clarity, our first three AI/ML algorithms are for our Vertical Market efforts. -----
BREAKING NEWS : 7 AM (La Jolla-time) Tuesday, Jan 20, 2026 We "may" decide to include one ML-based Capture option in a near-future update of the Base version of Photosets, just to shake-up the App Store ! i.e., (to) Stir the Pot ! Specifically, one for the Teens. That came up yesterday during discussions with potential Investors during our 1st "real" Live Demo. For the record, we believe Apple's App Store Mgmt Team is Dumb, very Dumb. And we aim to soon make that Common Knowledge. There is NO justification for Phil Schiller to run the App Store. Just the opposite in fact. $113B+ USD of (mostly High-End) iPhone revenue "left on the table" over the years because of "his actions" says we're correct. And maybe Tim's, & maybe that of some of the AAPL Board members. Also, it will be interesting to see if Apple soon announces Tim's retirement date (as we suspect). i.e., at Apple's next Earnings Call on Thurs, Jan 29th.

BREAKING NEWS : 6 AM (La Jolla-time) Monday, Jan 19, 2026 Turns out we were wrong ... Trump's Greenland play is ALL-about our President feeling slighted for NOT having received the Nobel Peace Prize. Go Figure ! There is NO way to sugar coat it, President Trump is one Extremely Fuck'd-Up Dude ! Selfish beyond belief for a U.S. President ! On the flip side, we can say with confidence that President Trump's actions just improved the odds that the Center-Right Independent Thinkers Coalition (CRITCoal) gains (real) traction. Few on the Center-Right want the (Far-Left) Dems back in power. We believe CRITCoal will make a very attractive alternative. On a side note, we do want to state today that we're continuing to refine our (& Photosets') pivot to Physical AI. We're debating the Pros & Cons of turning Photosets' Physical AI-based support into a Platform. i.e., vs. developing the Application-specific ML models ourselves. We're concurrently working on three ML models, but there's many thousands more to consider. Having the ML Training Data (for each) is key. The Time & Energy required to produce that is the current bottleneck. And while we do have some good ideas, this is where we're devoting much of our time & energy. i.e., Strategy-wise. NOT difficult for us to make Photosets a Physical AI Platform strictly for In House use. But making it available to others as such is a very BIG challenge. -----
BREAKING NEWS : 2 PM (La Jolla-time) Sunday, Jan 18, 2026 We're convinced Trump's Greenland play is a Hail Mary to try to salvage the 2026 midterms. -----
BREAKING NEWS : 9 AM (La Jolla-time) Sunday, Jan 18, 2026 Today, we've started "investigating" which Top Tier VCs would be "best" for us & Photosets to team up with. It helps to have grown up in Silicon Valley ! Read that to mean we know the History, & more importantly, which "individuals" to consider. BIG picture perspective, we believe LLMs will soon become yesterday's news. And that Physcial AI will soon garner ALL the attention. And most importantly, we believe we're now, i.e., post-pivot, well-positioned to Capitalize. Think multi-chain ML running (primarily) on Apple mobile devices. And BTW, that statement represents the biggest hint we've publicly made since the pivot. On a side note, today we'd like to point-out something that came during "discussions" yesterday. The fact that NOT many iOS App Devs have low-level coding skills. And that most apps in Apple's App Store are simply a GUI on top of Apple frameworks. That's probably 99.9% of them. The significance of that should NOT be under-estimated by anyone. Top Tier VC or otherwise. -----
BREAKING NEWS : 1:30 PM (La Jolla-time) Saturday, Jan 17, 2026 Today's planned 1st Live Demo was Short & Sweet & more of a Presentation than a Live Demo. 1st "real" Live Demo is now scheduled for Monday. Also, we want to clarify our latest thinking regarding Photosets' Next-Gen Multi View Capture support, which is at the core of what we're up to. ● App Store (Base) version: Manual triggering ONLY. ● Premium Capture sub & In House versions: Adds ML-based triggering. ● ML Training Data: We're automating the burst photo capture part of it, but End Users will be responsible for Annotating their custom ML Training Data. Note that this is where End Users will be devoting most of their time & energy. Photosets, as a Platform, will take care of most of the rest. ● Model Training: End Users will be responsible for this, but it's fairly straight-forward. We'll be providing a comprehensive App Note. Which BTW, illustrates how to Train with the Nvidia RTX PRO 4000 Blackwell SFF Edition. ● Is it a Dual-ML ONLY solution? NO, the architecture does support single-ML Applications/Use-Cases. The Dual simply represents the upper limit (for now). Our Proof of Concept is a Dual-ML Vertical Market Opportunity. -----
BREAKING NEWS : 9 AM (La Jolla-time) Saturday, Jan 17, 2026 Heads Up, 1st Live Demo of Photosets' Dual-ML Next-Gen Multi View Capture will be at 12 Noon today. As a reminder, it's a Quick & Dirty implementation ! -----
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 Vertical 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. -----
BREAKING NEWS : 6 PM (La Jolla-time) Thursday, Jan 15, 2026 We stumbled across this article on CNBC & want to give it some visibility on our website: link to Vibe Coding article on CNBC Anybody doing something innovative has nothing to worry about. ALL others probably do. At least in time. Also, for clarity, we see Vibe Coding simply as an updated version of Software Templates. Which as you very-likely know, have been around for a very long time. And BTW, we've been closely following Vide Coding ever-since we got wind of Cursor's valuation rise. i.e., late 3Q25. -----
BREAKING NEWS : 5 PM (La Jolla-time) Thursday, Jan 15, 2026 Two important things to announce: 1.) Day by Day, Week by Week, as we get closer to the 2026 midterms, we believe more Americans will agree with us, i.e., the Founding Members of the Center-Right Independent Thinkers Coalition (CRITCoal), that neither the Far-Left OR the Far-Right can be trusted to run our country. Trump is out of control, NO different than Sleepy Joe & his open border policy. And here's the kicker, something that hit us just today, we believe there is a fairr chance that Trump ultimately recommends someone backed by the CRITCoal to be the next U.S. President. That's because he knows the Dems are very-likely gonna win in a landslide. And we represent a much better alternative to that. Also, it's really NO different than what Trump did during the last hours of the NY City Mayoral Race. OK, but why post about this today ? Today Trump is saying we shouldn't even have Midterms. We're NOT cool with that kind of talk ! Pisses us off, in fact ! Reminds us too much of the Jan 6th insurrection attempt. 2.) We want to point-out that a BIG part of what we're now up-to WRT Photosets is pivoting it from a General Purpose Burst Photo Camera App, to Vertical Market opportunities. We may need to ONLY capture one. We might call it a day after that. We'll be able to point to that as a proof of concept for ALL other Applications/Use-Cases. -----
BREAKING NEWS : 7 AM (La Jolla-time) Thursday, Jan 15, 2026 We've been Asked & have Agreed, to publicly state the Target Market
for the MVC-based dual-ML Application/Use-Case we've prioritized. Simply put, athletic Teens & Young Adults, & their Parents. -----
BREAKING NEWS : 6 AM (La Jolla-time) Thursday, Jan 15, 2026 We're Fast Tracking the Application/Use-Case that we hinted at yesterday. It's based-upon using Photosets' Multi View Capture support in an entirely new way. One that we had NOT even thought about before yesterday. While we won't provide details, we will say this: 1.) It's the first Application/Use-Case we've ever worked on that's based-upon two ML algorithms. 2.) It's an updated version of an Application/Use-Case that we worked on a few years ago, but which we subsequently moved to the Back Burner & never moved-back to the Front Burner. And very specifically, it wasn't ML-based back then. It's now being moved-back to the Front Burner, with what can ONLY be described as an innovative twist. 3.) We fully intend to Capitalize on this in just the next 1-2 months. It builds-up alot of code already in place. Photosets is afterall, Light Years Ahead of ALL other Camera Apps in Burst Photo Technology & Application/Use-Case support. NOT reflected in its status in Tim Cook's App Store, but that has nothing to do with the app itself, ONLY with Apple's App Store Mgmt Team. And maybe also the AAPL Board (if they were in on it). i.e., the Cover Up. Remember the term, "Fiduciary Duty". It could become a Hot Topic on CNBC over the new few months. 4.) We predict it will become the planet's first-ever De Facto "Killer AI App" since the release of ChatGTP. 5.) We don't need an Investor OR Corp Partner to pull it off ! On a side note, we're gonna start working on the Marketing Campaign for it today. -----
BREAKING NEWS : 5 PM (La Jolla-time) Wednesday, Jan 14, 2026 We just came up with what we believe could become the Killer App of 2026. It requires Photosets' Multi View Capture support, but NOT in a way that we've thought of before. It's Physical AI (related), but also NOT in a way that we've thought of before. "Holy Shit Man," it has the potential to immediately put us on the map. And NOT off to the side, but smack dab in the center. "Holy Shit Man !" Also, for clarity, we're keeping this one close to our chest. And, it changes everything. Everything else (we've been working on) is now on the Back Burner. We want to have a Quick & Dirty implementation up & running by month's end. That's now our top priority. And BTW, R&D is right now defining it in detail. -----
BREAKING NEWS : 5 AM (La Jolla-time) Wednesday, Jan 14, 2026 We've been Asked & have Agreed, to summarize our current status. First, a reminder, we've recently RE-positioned Photosets (strictly) as "a Tool" for Physical AI Development & Verification. The catalyst for the pivot was CES 2026 in Vegas earlier this month. Second, we see NO value in Apple's App Store, except for distribution purposes. Read that to mean any Revenue & Profit we make off unit sales of Photosets in the App Store is peanuts compared to what we'll make from selling into the Physical AI Build-Out. Third, our End Goal is for Photosets to become the De Facto Standard for Phyical AI "Verification". And, importantly, we believe Photosets can achieve that status by mid-Year ! On a side note, on Monday it was reported that: App Store had over 850 million average weekly users across 175 countries and regions, and it set a new annual record for U.S. visitors. NOT Rocket Science, 99% of those 850 million App Store visitors were very-likely NO more than 14 years old ! And, importantly, we believe anyone can confirm that by checking the Today tab of Apple's App Store App on a daily basis. Also, why CNBC doesn't report on this is Extremely Puzzling. i.e., why is CNBC so oblivious to the obvious. The gist here, Photosets is NOT a good fit for Apple's App Store. At least NOT until they get their act together. We've given up on Tim & Phil getting their act together. If Apple does in-deed announce Tim's retirement date later this month as we suspect, that could represent the first real sign that positive change is coming. Tim Cook & Phil Schiller have proven to us that when it comes to running Apple's App Store, they are Totally Clueless. As evident by leaving $113B+ USD of (mostly high-end) iPhone revenue on the table over the years. It will be interesting to see how the AAPL Board defends this once it becomes Common Knowledge.

BREAKING NEWS : 9 AM (La Jolla-time) Tuesday, Jan 13, 2026 We're on track to release the next update of Photosets, v26.412, by week's end. It won't include Next-Gen Multi View Capture support. That still needs another week OR two of R&D work. Plus, we want to Live Demo it before releasing it to the General Public. First Live Demos scheduled for later this week. -----
BREAKING NEWS : 5 PM (La Jolla-time) Monday, Jan 12, 2026 One more important thing to announce today. We've up'd the odds that President Trump tanks the Economy to 20%. Had been 10%. On a side note, today we encourage everyone to remember the key lesson learned from the Late Bronze Age Collapse. i.e., that Specialist Trade-based Civilizations are fragile, very fragile. -----
BREAKING NEWS : 1 PM (La Jolla-time) Monday, Jan 12, 2026 We've been Asked & have Agreed, to update our Docs related to Photosets' (upcoming) Genlock-enabled Next-Gen Multi View Capture support. First up, product positioning. Also, for clarity, we see Physical AI playing-out similar to Chip Development, where the pace of progress is driven by Verification. As a reminder, we are a Team of ex-Chip Design & Verification Engineers.

BREAKING NEWS : 8 AM (La Jolla-time) Monday, Jan 12, 2026 Our top priority this week is wrapping-up Photosets' Genlock-enabled Next-Gen Multi View Capture support, & if possible, following that up with our first Live Demos to potential Investors & Corp Partners. Also, for clarity, we believe this newest feature addition will catapult Cosmosent Labs, Inc. to Unicorn Status. -----
BREAKING NEWS : 9 AM (La Jolla-time) Sunday, Jan 11, 2026 We've figured-out how to align the App Store version of Photosets
with our In House AI/ML-focused efforts. As such, v26.412 could be out soon ! Perhaps by week's end ! Also, for clarity, Photosets' Genlock-enabled Next-Gen Multi View Capture (MVC) support, which Cosmosent R&D is close to completing, is at the very core of our In House AI/ML-focused efforts. It's an extreme high-value feature addition to Photosets. Especially WRT the continued AI/ML Build-Out. It's also very-likely way too advanced for your typical App Store consumer. However, we believe we've figured-out a nice way to tie them into the feature (without giving them full access to it). Here, think MVC "slave" vs. MVC "master". And (Physical) AI/ML "verification" vs. (Physical) AI/ML "development". Has rare, true Game Changer potential ! -----
BREAKING NEWS : 1:30 PM (La Jolla-time) Saturday, Jan 10, 2026 One more thing to announce today before the NFL games start. The good Wx that arrives here in San Diego starting tomorrow may enable us to move forward with our planned Victoria's Secret-like Fashion Shows (w/ Late Bronze Age attire). Wed-Fri looks to be the best Wx days ahead. Also, for clarity, it's a BIG part of our Marketing & Branding Campaign. -----
BREAKING NEWS : 12 Noon (La Jolla-time) Saturday, Jan 10, 2026 1.) What are Brendan Carr's "technical" qualifications to run the FCC ? 2.) Is anybody looking into the potential problems those SpaceX satellites could cause to the Atmosphere ? 3.) Will Musk be held accountable if ANY of those SpaceX satellites fall out of the sky
& down a commercial airliner ? We strongly believe Congress should be looking into #2 & #3 ASAP. And if NOT Congress, then some Public Watchdog (ASAP). For the Record, we do NOT trust our Govt when it comes to technical matters. NOT one bit ! Trump has made it crystal clear to ALL that the ONLY data he likes is the data he makes up.

BREAKING NEWS : 8:30 AM (La Jolla-time) Saturday, Jan 10, 2026 We've been Asked & have Agreed, to clarify what's going on at Cosmosent Labs, Inc. First, today represents our first full day as a Specialty Robot Maker, having made the decision to pivot just yesterday. Second, nothing changes WRT our strategy for the App Store version of Photosets. We will continue to offer it in the App Store & to continue to promote it as a General Purpose Burst Photo Camera App. Third, the catalyst for our pivot was CES 2026 in Vegas this past week. Specifically, the current state (& pace of development) of Physical AI. Fourth, we picked automating the "refurbishing" of Alusil cylinder walls as our first Specialty Robot for multiple reasons: 1.) It represents an UN-tap'd $10B+ USD market opportunity. 2.) Technically, it will be extremely challenging, even for us. 3.) It's well-aligned with our E90 M3 Lite & N52B30 strategies. 4.) If we are successful, & there is NO guarantee we will be, it would become a very nice Accomplishment & Proof of Concept to point to. Fifth, BIG picture perspective, we see what we're up to as potentially becoming the planet's first-ever De Facto "Physical AI Platform" (for ALL others to craft their own Specialty Robots). NOT just Development, but Verification is also key. That's where we think we have the edge. And that's because of our Photosets. Specifically, the app's Genlock-enabled Next-Gen Multi View Capture support. And BTW, "the edge" also comes from the fact that every member of the R&D Team here at Cosmosent Labs, Inc. has many years of experience in Chip Design & Verification. For those who are UN-aware, the pace of progress is determined by Verification. That's where Photosets' Genlock-enabled Next-Gen Multi View Capture support comes into play. For clarity, our Platform solution will be based in-part on Photosets. Sixth, to us, Apple's App Store is catastrophically broken. And for some UN-known reason, Tim Cook either can't OR won't fix it. Perhaps it's simply NOT best for Tim Cook & Phil Schiller, the two men who run Apple's App Store, to NOT have ANY Engineering OR Software Development experience, & NO known OR proven "Camera App" Domain/Application/Use-Case expertise. Just saying. NOT Rocket Science, the AAPL Board has been asleep at the wheel. The key question, is being asleep at the wheel a violation of one's Fiduciary Duty ? We think President Trump should be asking that of every Board member of every public U.S. company. The problem could be rampant. -----
BREAKING NEWS : 7:30 PM (La Jolla-time) Friday, Jan 9, 2026 Cosmosent Labs, Inc. is today pivoting to a Specialty Robot Maker ! And naturally we'll be using Photosets for Physical AI Development & Verification. Also, for clarity, we plan to continue to offer the Base version of Photosets in Apple's App Store. So, NO changes there. Note also that CES 2026 in Vegas this week made our decision today very easy. See our two News Updates of earlier today for some relevant background info. -----
BREAKING NEWS : 10:30 AM (La Jolla-time) Friday, Jan 9, 2026 Consider this, our first Specialty Robot could be, & probably should be, a Robot that Hones & Laps Alusil cylinder walls. i.e., for automating the "refurbishing" of Alusil cylinder walls. Would be a technical challenge even for us. But one we would Welcome with Open Arms. -----
BREAKING NEWS : 9:30 AM (La Jolla-time) Friday, Jan 9, 2026 Heads Up, we are strongly considering positioning Photosets strictly as a Tool
for physical AI Development & Verification. And specifically here, Photosets' Next-Gen Multi View Capture support, which we've NOT yet released. Also for clarity, the Super-Slow adoption of iOS 26 & (perceived) weak sales of Apple's M5-based products is greatly influencing our thinking. Also, there is a chance we become a Specialty Robot Maker. i.e., leveraging our Skill & Experience in developing PID servo controllers. As a reminder, OR for those who are UN-aware, our key Founder developed an Actel FPGA-based PID servo for an HP Laser Interferometer system, while attending Standord. -----
BREAKING NEWS : 4 PM (La Jolla-time) Thursday, Jan 8, 2026 We've decided to delay the kick off of our Marketing Campaign by 3-4 days till Sun OR Mon. We've got good 72+ & sunny Wx arriving starting Sun Jan 11, & lasting 7+ days. This also gives us a few more days to Field Test Photosets' Next-Gen Multi View Capture support before showcasing it to others. -----
BREAKING NEWS : 1:30 PM (La Jolla-time) Thursday, Jan 8, 2026 It just hit us that President Trump's comments regarding increasing the 2027 Defense Budget to $1.5T USD is very-likely simply based-upon using the Meta & Google playbook against OpenAI, against China. i.e., Don't do what you thinking about doing ('cause we'll outspend you & prevent it from being a success).
And naturally here, WRT China, we're refering to Taiwan.
When we first heard Trump's comment earlier today, we thought "He's a Total Nutcase". You can't ask an industry that moves at a glacial pace to pivot like that. Waste & Corruption will be rampant. Plus, we're already $38T USD in Debt. But then after thinking about it somemore, we concluded it's just Trump being Trump. "Tweeting from the Hip" A derivative of "Shooting from the Hip". On a side note, who will replace Cook as Apple's next CEO is In the News again today. As such, we're gonna add our two-cents, as seasoned EEs who've been in mobile app development for more than ten years now. We strongly believe Apple's next CEO should be someone with an Applications/Use-Cases background. Apple has made really nice hardware available to the masses. What Apple needs most now is someone who can show them what they can really do with it. That should, in turn, trigger a trend to shorter upgrade cycles. i.e., the decision by iPhone, iPad & Mac owners as to when to upgrade. Off the radar of most, but should NOT be. NO offense to John Ternus, he's NOT the right guy. He's at the right age, just has different Domain expertise than what we believe Apple needs most in their next CEO. We know Apple better than ALL of the so-called Pro Stock Analytsts who appear on CNBC. We are afterall, the ONLY ONES who have detailed just how much iPhone revenue Apple has left on the table over the years because of their screwups. -----BREAKING NEWS : 9 AM (La Jolla-time) Thursday, Jan 8, 2026 In preparation for releasing Photosets' Next-Gen Multi View Capture support, today we're kicking off our planned Marketing & Branding Campaign ! First up, dropping the price of the Base version to a very attractive level (on a temporary basis). -----
BREAKING NEWS : 9:30 PM (La Jolla-time) Wednesday, Jan 7, 2026 The next update of Photosets, v26.412, out soon, adds Next-Gen Multi View Capture (MVC) support. MVC "slave" support will be available on the 17, Air, 17P, & 17PM iPhones. i.e., ALL iPhones with per-GPU Neural Accelerators. How-best to release MVC "master" support is still TBD. We have it working on M4+ Macs & on M4+ iPad Pros (in our Lab). The decision is almost strictly Business Strategy-related. -----
BREAKING NEWS : 5 PM (La Jolla-time) Wednesday, Jan 7, 2026 We're crafting a new graph that estimates how much Power is (& will be) consumed by AI Data Center chips. You can think of it as a derivative of our custom iPhone Unit Sales Estimator graph. Which BTW, illustrates that Apple left $113B USD of (mostly high-end) iPhone revenue on the table over the years because of their App Store screw ups. If you know Our Story, you know precisely what we're referring to.

BREAKING NEWS : 4:30 PM (La Jolla-time) Wednesday, Jan 7, 2026 For clarity, because Photosets' Next-Gen Multi View Capture support has both
an "AI play" & a "NON-AI play," we've made it our top priority. See below & our Home Page for the relevant details. -----
BREAKING NEWS : 12 Noon (La Jolla-time) Wednesday, Jan 7, 2026 We've been Asked & have Agreed, to clarify how we plan to increase the company's valuation by 10x relative to first Institutional Investment. High-level, by dividing Cosmosent Labs, Inc. into three well-thought-out (virtual ?) Divisions, with each contributing 1/3: ● Photosets-based Physical AI & Robotics Use-Cases (i.e., Photosets for AI & ML) ● Photosets-based Traditional Burst Photo Camera App Use-Cases (i.e., Photosets for NON-AI & NON-ML) ● Custom E90 M3 Lite Sports Sedan & N52B30 Engine Block Service (i.e., our BMW-focused Auto Division) On a side note, for the record, we (still) do expect the S&P 500 will hit a low of ~5750 sometime this year. We have CNBC on till ~2:30 PM everyday (the market is open) in our Lab. We think most of the so-called Pro Stock Analysts on CNBC are Clueless, Totally Clueless. Notable exceptions, DA Davidson's Gil Luria, & Dan Niles (NOT to be confused with "the Cheerleader" Ives). Also, when the downturn hits, we believe everyone will be trying to get out "at the exact same time". That worries us the most. Could take many months, perhaps even years, to recover from that. -----
BREAKING NEWS : 9 AM (La Jolla-time) Wednesday, Jan 7, 2026 We've resurrected (& updated) a Business Strategy we first considered about six months after the M4 iPad Pro was released. Has real M5 merit ! The catalyst was this article on macrumors.com that describes Amazon's latest deals for the M5 iPad Pro: link to article on macrumors.com The gist, we know how to significantly boost the value the M5 iPad Pro. Tim Cook & Phil Schiller clearly do NOT. If you're a member of the AAPL Board reading this, consider that "a shot across the bow". Either you fix the mess, OR you soon get replaced. Make NO mistake, from our perspective, both Cook & Schiller should have been replaced NO more than a few months after we discovered the A11/A12 Performance Controller NEON Access Chip Bug, aka "Phil's Bug". The (continued) Cover Up for that has cost Apple alot ! And cheated high-end iPhone owners, AAPL shareholders, & the shareholders of Apple's own Corp Partners, out of their respective benefits of what Photosets & the other Flagship-caliber Burst Photo Camera Apps have to offer. Regarding the resurrected & updated Business Strategy, consider this, what if AMZN had the option of selling M5 iPad Pros with a version of Photosets that included Next-Gen Multi View Capture "master" support for M5 iPad Pros ? With just alittle Marketing behind it, those would very-likely become the most highly-prized M5 iPad Pros. And here's the kicker from our perspective, we won't do it for cheap. Photosets' Next-Gen Multi View Capture support could become The Gold Standard for developing & verifying physical AI, including Robotics. -----
BREAKING NEWS : 9:30 PM (La Jolla-time) Tuesday, Jan 6, 2026 We've been Asked & have Agreed, to clarify why we're so obsessed with our E90 M3 Lite. Simply put, with it, we believe we can capitalize BIG time, & have lots of fun doing so in the process. Plus, it protects us in case AI & ML flops BIG time. Which, we believe, it's got a 50/50 chance of doing. There is NO guarantee that AI & ML will ultimately be a success. Anyone who thinks so is fooling themselves. The N52B30 has some known issues, but if you know how to resolve those, you've got something special, very special. Something that NO ONE else on the planet has ! To us, it's an UN-Discovered Gem (to most) that offers significant financial opportunity. Every 2006-2008 BMW E90 sedan with the N52B30 is a candidate to be upgraded to a E90 M3 Lite. Every N52B30 is a candiate to have its engine block upgraded by our service. i.e., "refurbishing" the Alusil cylinder walls, plus providing a kit that consists of new (Private Label) piston rings, H-beam rods, rod bearings, & main bearings. The tricky part is "refurbishing" the Alusil cylinder walls. And BTW, many Porsche, & Audi engine blocks also have Alusil cylinder walls. Also BTW, our key Founder has driven "our prototype" as his Daily Driver since Oct of 2005, after custom ordering it from BMW. This is where our key Insight comes from. That & the fact that our key Founder rebuilt the engine in his first car by himself when he was 18. That was a 289 in a 1966 Mustange coupe with a 3-speed manual transmission. That rebuild included a Sig Erson cam with a 0.495" lift & 274-degree duration, Carter 625 competition series carb & blackjack headers. It was a beast ! 3/4 race for a Daily Driver, NO less. He drove it for six years. Two years while attending De Anza community college, four years while attending Cal Poly, SLO. Also BTW, our E90 M3 Lite should be good for 400+ miles at 90 mph. To summarize, it's a Billion Dollar Plus financial opportunity that requires Skill, Insight, & Desire to pull off. We "may" be the ONLY ONES who can. Think of it as our E90 M3 Lite Auto Division, representing 1/3 OR 1/4 of Cosmosent Labs, Inc. Which just happens to also offer an attractive N52B30 engine block service.

BREAKING NEWS : 7 PM (La Jolla-time) Tuesday, Jan 6, 2026 We've made an important business decision. Once R&D wrap's-up Photosets' Next-Gen Multi View Capture support, the entire company will focus on Marketing the app & the new feature. That includes every member of R&D. Time is of the essence. We believe Trump will become more UN-stable as we get closer to the 2026 mid-terms. And we believe we've witnessed the first signs of that (just) today. NO ONE should be surprised if a major "Wag the Dog" event soon occurs. Whether that's Venezuela, Greenland, Mexico, Columbia, OR somewhere else entirely, we estimate the odds of it actually happening to be greater than 50%. ALL the signs are there. Make NO mistake, we have an UN-stable President. That should be Crystal Clear to everyone. And BTW, strategy & comments brought to you by members of the Center-Right Independent Thinkers Coalition (CRITCoal), for which we are the Founders. Also BTW, we are already on the record as having stated that we've aligned Photosets with the CRITCoal. -----
BREAKING NEWS : 2 PM (La Jolla-time) Tuesday, Jan 6, 2026 Today we're seriously considering focusing ONLY on marketing Photosets in the near-term. That's because we now believe the Shit could Hit the Fan in just a month OR two. And by that we mean "the newest" Trump-induced chaos. i.e., NO real Day-After plan for Venezuela & now the military threats to take-over Greenland. NO way to sugar coat it, Trump is a loose cannon. Our advise to Trump, "You break it, you own it". NO running away & blaming others. Which has been his MO. For the record, we think Trump is bored with the traditional responsibilities of being our U.S. President. And that that could be the main reason why he's doing what he's now doing. On a side note, we now believe High Memory Prices could derail the entire AI Data Center Build-Out. Achieving a ROI has recently become much more challenging. Specifically, our list of AI concerns, Power, Water, ROI, (long-term) Env, & Over-Capacity, may now need to be RE-ordered. With ROI jumping-ahead of even Power. If you can make money off of it, it will die a quick death. You heard it here first, NOT on CNBC. And BTW, we don't give much credence to the Sales-men & women who run the AI-related companies when they appear on CNBC (& pitch their latest & greatest whatever). We're a team of "seasoned" EEs. As we've stated before, this reminds us (to some extent) of the early years of the Asynchronous Transfer Mode (ATM) enthusiasm. That was supposed to take over the world, including to the desktop. As a reminder, that was just-before the world wide web started to take off. Also for the record, we are a Team of (mostly) Center-Right Independent Thinkers. -----
BREAKING NEWS : 8 AM (La Jolla-time) Tuesday, Jan 6, 2026 Two things to announce today: 1.) We want to clarify (mostly to potential VCs & Corp Partners) that Photosets' Next-Gen Multi View Capture (MVC) support has Dual Use. One related to using Photosets as a traditional NON-AI/ML Burst Photo Camera App, & the other related to using Photosets for Physical AI & Robotics. 2.) Late yesterday we started to consider a new option for our prototype E90 M3 Lite. First, as a reminder, there is a significant financial opportunity for whoever solves the High Oil Consumption problem with High-Mileage BMW N52B30 engines. First few months of last year we had invested just-under $10K USD into cylinder head work on our prototype N52B30 engine, mostly to R&R the valve stem oil seals. We thought that would solve the High Oil Consumptin problem with our prototype engine. It didn't. It was needed, but it wasn't ALL that was needed to solve the problem. The piston oil control rings very-likely ALSO need to be R&R'd. Second, as you may OR may NOT know, the Alusil cylinder walls complicate the issue. We first looked-into Lapping & then RE-rining the pistons. But then eventually settled on installing Ductile Iron Sleeves. Mostly because there is NO real concensus on how to refurbish an Alusil cylinder wall. But installing Ductile Iron Sleeves isn't cheap. NOR are a set of aftermarket piston rings for an N52B30 engine. So it was a tradeoff. Go with a set of costly piston rings for the N52B30, or have Ductile Iron Sleeves installed, which would then greatly expand the choices for piston rings. Neither option was financially attractive to us. Late yesterday it hit us, that we should investigate what it would take to have a set of piston rings made for us. i.e., a Private Label deal with an established piston ring manufacturer. And then it hit us, if we go that route, we'd also like to include a set of H-beam connecting rods in the deal. Plus main & rod bearings. The most-delicate part of rebuilding an N52B30 engine is lapping the Alusil cylinder walls. But once the most-appropriate procedue is nailed-down, that becomes a BIG asset. We're gonna apply the principle we learned in college: "Learn by Doing" That's Cal Poly, SLO, if you didn't already know. -----
BREAKING NEWS : 6 PM (La Jolla-time) Monday, Jan 5, 2026 New Marketing & Branding Campaign: The LLM pattern-matching/token-prediction engines hallucinate with confidence & (more importantly) can't think Outside the Box. Photosets proves we're different ! -----
BREAKING NEWS : 8 AM (La Jolla-time) Monday, Jan 5, 2026 Good chance we release the next update of Photosets, v26.412, with (Next-Gen) Multi View Capture (MVC) "slave" support (for iPhones with Genlock support), by week's end. For clarity, (Next-Gen) MVC is at the very core of our AI & ML efforts. And BTW, the ONLY thing that may hold-up the release is our desire for new App Store screenshots. And the fact that we need Good Wx here in San Diego to pull that off. Also, we pulled Photosets from Venezuela. Currently, New User Downloads are available ONLY via the iOS App Store here in the States. -----
BREAKING NEWS : 8 AM (La Jolla-time) Saturday, Jan 3, 2026 Photosets is now (also) available in Venezuela ! We expect a Civil War to break out, & while we NEVER envisioned Photosets as a War Camera, it certainly could be used as such. As we see it, providing Photosets to the citizens of Venezuela could prevent atrocities. -----
BREAKING NEWS : 8 PM (La Jolla-time) Friday, Jan 2nd, 2026 Except for Marketing the Base version of Photosets, we've been Asked & have Agreed,
to pivot into Deep Stealth Mode. And naturally (both moves) to increase the odds that we Cut a Deal OR Agree to Terms in the near-term. Also, for clarity, R&D is focused on wrapping-up Photosets' Next-Gen Multi View Capture (MVC) support. We mention this because we do plan on including MVC "slave" support for the 17P & 17PM in the Base version of the next update of Photosets, v26.412, out soon. Also for clarity, we've made NO decision on if OR when to release Photosets' "Premium Capture" sub. As such, ONLY the Base version & our In House version are currently "in play". The significance of that should NOT be UNDER-estimated by anyone. Especially by those with an AI/ML play. -----
