Some may consider last year’s MWC to have been bordering on boring but this year promises to be anything but. Of course, there’s the promise of foldable phones and at least two button-less, seamless phones. But going beyond those, there are also the likes of the Nokia 9 PureView to make heads turn. Teased by HMD Global itself and now … Continue reading
Last year, Vivo launched a rather interesting solution to notches in its Vivo NEX S: a pop-up front facing camera. It was certainly a neat idea, especially if you hate notches in any form, because it means no cutouts on your nice edge-to-edge display. For as novel as the idea is, it’s one that hasn’t really caught on in the … Continue reading
Motorola has made some of the best budget and mid-range phones for years. But Moto’s previous lineup of inexpensive devices was a bit confusing, as its offerings were split between the Moto G6 and G6 Play, and the even less expensive E5 Plus and E5 Play. In 2019, Moto is trimming down its G7 portfolio down to just…
The U.S. launched an unarmed Minuteman III intercontinental ballistic missile from Vandenberg Air Force Base on February 5 in what’s shaping up to be a busy week of missile tests around the world.

Not too keen on showing the background when you’re in a Skype video call? Microsoft is introducing just the perfect solution for you. The company has revealed that Skype will now automatically blur the background in a video call so that the focus always remains on the subject and not what’s behind them.
The background blur feature in Skype is quite similar to background blur in Microsoft Teams which was introduced a few months back. Users no longer have to stress about their messy room as they can blur the background with a simple toggle or right click. The background is blurred instantly and subtly so that the user remains the only focal point.
This is done using artificial intelligence which is trained in human form detection. The AI is able to keep the user in focus during the call while applying a blur to their background. The technology has been trained enough to detect hair, hands, and arms. So it will be just as easy to make a Skype video call with blur enabled than without.
Skype’s background blur feature is going to be available on most desktops and laptops with the latest version of the app. The company hasn’t confirmed if this feature will be extended to the mobile versions as well.
