In the latest Apple Pay promotion, customers can get $15 off at 1-800-Flowers when they use Apple Pay to shop in the retailer's "Gift Collection." This can be done in the 1-800-Flowers app or on 1800Flowers.com now through Friday, February 15 at 11:59 p.m. ET.


Apple's promo is themed around Valentine's Day (taking place one week from today on February 14), and notes that "sending love is easier with Apple Pay." The company also points towards its own Apple Store app, Etsy, and Barneys New York as places to get shopping ideas for your significant other this week.

Apple typically marks major holidays with Apple Pay promos, including a series of promotions that kicked off last December aimed at holiday shoppers. Promo partners typically include Postmates, Ray-Ban, Warby Parker, Nike, StubHub, Instacart, and more.

Skype Gains Background Blurring Feature

http://bit.ly/2iD6uoF

Skype is getting a new screen-blurring feature this week. Users of Microsoft's video and voice calling service can now choose to blur the background on video calls if the scene behind them is something they'd rather not share.

The idea behind the feature is to save the user's blushes because of the messy room they're skyping from, or to obscure a business plan on a whiteboard behind them, for instance.
Background blur in Skype and Teams uses artificial intelligence (AI)—trained in human form detection—to keep you in focus during your call. This technology is also trained to detect your hair, hands, and arms, making a call with background blur just as relaxed and easy as a regular video call.
Background blur in Skype is similar to background blur in Microsoft Teams, according to the software giant. The results are somewhat akin to the "bokeh" effect most commonly seen in Portrait photos on iPhone, but in this case in a live video stream.


The feature is rolling out on desktops, mobile, and web, and can be enabled in Skype's settings or by using the video call button.
