  • How to Set up Cortana (Or Remove Her) in Windows 10
    How to set up Cortana (or remove her) in Windows 10 Cortana, the personal digital assistant feature in Windows 10, will help you complete tasks, make it to your appointments on time, send messages and emails on your behalf, research the web and even launch applications. Orignally released with the Windows Phone (and named after the AI character from Microsoft's Halo franchise, looks to be a key element in the Windows 10 operating system. To begin the set up process, click or tap the microphone icon in the search bar and say "Hey Cortana" (if listening is enabled), followed by your question or search term. When properly set up Cortana is a powerful digital assistant. Start by clicking into the Cortana search box, and waiting for the results pane to appear. In the top- left corner of this, click the “hamburger” menu and then open Notebook. This tool allows you to determine what information Cortana can gather about you, and the more data she has, the more she can do. Cortana will have already asked you to input your name, but you can change this and more by opening About Me. Here, set the name you want her to use. Under Settings you can enable tracking info by switching on Find flights and more, which analyses your emails for such details. The Settings screen also enables you to toggle whether Cortana responds to “Hey, Cortana” which is very similar to Android’s “OK, Google“–the system will constantly be on the look-out for you saying this phrase, and will open Cortana when it is detected.

Technology has progressed far beyond the imaginations of the modern day, and humanity finds itself at war. United under a single banner known as the United Nations Space Command (UNSC), Humans find themselves at odds with a cult of alien races known as the Covenant. Most of humanities’ interstellar colonies have fallen by the opening of the game. Players take on the burden of Noble Six, an elite UNSC super soldier joining the special operations unit known as Noble Team. The team has been tasked with investigating a communication station that has recently gone silent on the part UNSC hub, part human colony planet known as Reach. Thrown into a surprise invasion by the Covenant, the player faces tragedy after tragedy as team members make sacrifices, lose battles, and are subjected to the bleak realities of war. Halo: Reach is not a story of heroism and triumph. 1 It is one of failure, defeat, and most importantly, death. From the beginning, you know the end.

  • Cheerleaders/Booth Babes/Halo Hoes: Pro-Gaming, Gender, and Jobs for the Boys
    Cheerleaders/Booth Babes/Halo Hoes: Pro-gaming, Gender, and Jobs for the Boys Nicholas Taylor Jen Jenson Suzanne de Castell PhD Candidate Associate Professor Professor Faculty of Education Faculty of Education Faculty of Education York University York University Simon Fraser University [email protected] [email protected] [email protected] Abstract In recent years, a 'professional' digital gaming industry has emerged in North America: this interconnected series of organizations and leagues host competitive gaming tournaments (often televised) in which young, mostly male participants compete for increasingly lucrative prize money and sponsorship contracts. Taking up Jo Bryce and Jason Rutter!s (2005) challenge to confront the ways girl gamers are rendered “invisible” by gamers, researchers, and designers, this paper maps the various ways women participate in a set of practices around the organization, promotion and performance of competitive gaming, framed as the exclusive domain of (young, straight, middle class) male bodies. Mothers flying their sons' teams to events all over North America, female players participating in tournaments, or promotional models operating sponsorship booths, the women who participate in competitive gaming tournaments negotiate different expectations and carry out different kinds of embodied work. Each of these 'roles', however, is tenuously maintained within a community that most commonly reads female participation in sexualized terms: mothers at events describe themselves as 'cheerleaders', female players risk being labeled as 'halo hoes', and promotional models become 'booth babes'. Biographies Nick Taylor is a PhD candidate in the Faculty of Education at York. His research interests include educational game design, research methodologies and online gaming, and new media-based pedagogies.
