Posted in: Today's Chili
The challenge for designers of robots that walk on two legs like humans is that these bipedal robots tend to fall over. Humans are very good at balancing, but robots not so much. A new robot has been designed at the Guangdong University of Technology that is much more stable than other bipedal robots out there thanks to one unique … Continue reading

When we think about timeshare programs, most of us would be drawn to the exotic locations of various properties where we can spend some much needed rest and relaxation with our loved ones, at a fraction of a price. However, Duaxi Electronics has something very different in store when it comes to the word “timeshare”, offering the all-new Timeshare Alarm Clock. No, you do not have to pay a few hundred dollars every single month just to own part of this particular Timeshare Alarm Clock, but rather, this is a patented alarm clock that will boast of two displays and a dock that will play nice with both Android-powered and iOS devices, making it a world’s first.
Starting life as a Kickstarter project, the Timeshare Alarm Clock intends to be a time changer (pardon the pun) when it comes to alarm clocks that are used by consumers as well as in the hospitality industry. Duaxi founder and inventor Scott Buss figured out the everyday consumer needs to own an alarm clock that is not only visible from all areas of one’s sleeping place, be it in a bedroom, a dormitory or a hotel room. Hence, the dual display integrated into this Bluetooth capable alarm clock.
There is also a patent pending swiveling dock that will support Lightning (iPhone) and USB-C (Android) connectors, where the dock pivots to enable users to view the smartphone’s screen from multiple angles. Accompanying all of those visual cues would be a high-quality speaker that is perfect for listening to music as well as making calls from your smartphone.
Since it is able to face virtually any direction (on a horizontal plane), you will also be able to comfortably perform a video chat from your nice, warm bed without having to get out of it. The days of limited viewing areas and the inconveniences of traditional, single-display alarm clocks are over with the Timeshare Alarm Clock.

In the early days of the internet, the most online presence a company would have is an email or a website, but fast forward to today, many companies have a presence on social media as well where customers can interact with them and even make purchases. Such is the case with Instagram who launched shoppable posts a couple of years ago.
The feature was limited to the US market but now according to a report from TechCrunch, Instagram will be expanding the feature to more countries. This includes Canada, Brazil, the United Kingdom, Germany, France, Italy, Spain, and Australia. For those who are unfamiliar with the feature, basically these shoppable posts allow users to see products and prices and also a button that directs users to the product’s website.
The idea is to make shopping easier and more accessible, especially if it is right in front of you which presumably will help prompt users to make purchases on the spot. According to Instagram head of business Jim Squires said, “People come to Instagram every day to discover and buy products from their favorite businesses. We want to be that seamless experience. Whether it’s a local artisan, florist or clothing store, shopping directly on Instagram has never been easier.”
It might be a while before the feature is rolled out to more countries, but for those living in the countries mentioned above it could be worth keeping an eye out for.
