Mario Kart 8 Newcomers: The Koopalings

By Carter Fitzsimmons -
The Koopalings decide to take a break from their castles
Bowser's not well known children (the Koopalings, or Koopa Kids) are newcomers to the Mario Kart 8 and were announced for the Mario Kart series in Nintendo Direct 2.13.14. All 7 Koopalings are in the game: Larry, Morton, Wendy, Iggy, Roy, Lemmy, and Ludwig. Bowser Jr, the most known of Bowser's children wasn't seen in the trailer and not announced as a racer yet, but he might be because he was in the Mario Kart Wii roaster. We see 3 new courses and 3 classic courses in this trailer such as Shy Guy Falls (as shown above) and Music Park as a classic course from Mario Kart 7. We don't know what characters will be removed from Mario Kart, but it's safe to assume Wiggler is not going to be a racer this time around because Yoshi is riding a kart shaped like a Wiggler in the trailer. Besides these little details, the trailer shows off much more, so I recommend you watch it.

Android vs. iOS - Usability

Android vs. iOSiOS 9 vs Android Marshmallow
Round 2 will be released next week, 4/17/16. Round 1: Usability Although my judgement is skewed because I use an iPhone 6 on a daily basis, I have used Android extensivly and have written tutorials on how to run it on your PC or laptop. Android Marshmallow has come a long way since 2011, when I dismissed it as an operating system not even comparable to iOS, dude to the lack of app support and specs that were better on paper than in real world usage.
Android:
Android Marshmallow is a very good operating system. It is lacking a few things compared to iOS, but the same can be said the other way around. It is hard to compare usability because Android is an operating system, and there is not a definitive version. The apps that come packaged with most devices can be broken down and compared to iOS quite easily. Every one of them is tolerable, and some are better than any alternative in the Play Store.
Updates - Most Android devices get updates for 6 …
