Google's "Doodle 4 Google" contest is coming to a close. The search giant has selected the top 50 winners, one per US state, and now needs you to vote for your favorite. Once voting ends on May 10 at 11:59pm ET, the top five will be selected and a national champion will be selected.

The final winner will be announced at an event in New York City on May 22. The theme for this year's contest was "Best Day Ever." Many of the kids interpreted this to mean different things, as you'll see when you look through the entries to cast your vote.

It looks as though people might have jumped the gun a bit in regards to whether or not Google will debut Android 5.0 at Google I/O. According to some leg work done by AndroidPolice, it's much more likely that Google will debut an updated Android Jelly Bean version at I/O going by the version number 4.3.

A build going by Android 4.3 JWR23B has been showing up in their server logs. They then traced down the IPs that they were coming from to Google. More specifically, AndroidPolice claim that the IPs are associated with two employees that are heavily involved with Android.

The build has been showing up on Nexus 4 and Nexus 7 devices. Typically, Nexus devices are the first to get a new version of Android. Finally, AndroidPolice cites several bugs that have cropped up in the Chromium bug tracker that list JWR23B as the build.

We'll know for sure as soon as Google I/O happens in about three weeks.

Although Star Trek: The Next Generation Season Three has just this week been released for the first time in high definition (full review incoming), that hasn't stopped Paramount from announcing the first details for the next season release.

The six disc Blu-ray set to be released on July 23rd, will feature every episode remastered in 1080p, including the conclusion to the season three cliffhanger The Best of Both Worlds 2 part episode which introduced the villainous Borg.

Of course, fans have been spoiled by the great new extra features produced by Directors Robert Meyer Burnett and Roger Lay and they've again assembled some cool features including the three part documentary Relativity: The Family Saga of The Next Generation, and In Conversation: The Art Department feature, along with multiple audio commentaries, Gag reel and vintage DVD features.

Paramount have also released a trailer to whet the appetite of fans. Make it so.

Last year was a totally different game, with iOS completely dominating the tablet market share game, this year, not so much. IDC's market share estimates point for the first quarter of 2013 are out, and they paint a very interesting picture.

As you can see, the top tablet OS market share for Q1 2013 has changed from the same quarter of last year. Android now have the top position with 56.5%, pushing iOS into second place with 39.6%. Apple lost quite a lot of ground in the past twelve months, as this time last year they had 58.1% of the tablet OS market share, leaving Android with 39.4%.

All of Apple's lost ground is sucked into the vacuum that is Android. Microsoft saw Windows' market share increased from 1% last year, to 3.3% this year. In terms of shipments for the quarter, IDC's estimates peg iOS-based tablets (iPad, iPad mini) at 19.5 million units, and Android-based slates (countless companies and models) at 27.8 million. Windows-based tablets saw 1.6 million units shipped and Windows RT-based tablets shipped just 200,000 units.

The Wall Street Journal is reporting from sources familiar with the plans, that Department of Defense employees will soon be able to use Apple's iPhone and Samsung's Galaxy-branded smartphones on the job.

Apple and Samsung have been trying for a while now to get their products approved for DoD use by the Pentagon, a market that is still to this day dominated by BlackBerry devices. The DoD has over three million employees, so it is a small market - but the turnover on devices would be high.

Both companies will reportedly have to go through a bunch of security tests before approval is granted, with one of Samsung's roadblocks being their OS of choice: Android. Android is an open-source OS, and is looked at as being more vulnerable to attack, while Apple's proprietary OS is deemed more secure. BlackBerry are having to go through another security process, as their latest Z10 and Q10 smartphones run the company's new BB10 OS.

I stumbled across this gem on Reddit earlier today, where 'pixelspersecond' introduced his mom to The Matrix, you know, that little sci-fi movie from the 90s that we all know and love? Check it out below.

It's quite funny to hear someone who has never watched it, explain the movie, because if you had to explain it to someone, it does sound pretty far-fetched. It makes me want to watch the movie again, or introduce it to my sister-in-law who has never watched it. I almost banned her from my life when I found that out.

Trace covered Facebook's Q1 earnings earlier tonight, and touched on the social network's insane numbers - but they really do need their own story they're so gigantic. Facebook now have over 1.11 billion monthly active users, and a chunk of those are on mobile.

During March 2013, daily active users passed 665 million on average, and there was a huge 751 million monthly active users, too. The 665 million daily active users (DAUs) is an increase of 26% year-over-year, with the 1.11 billion monthly active users (MAUs) being an increase of 23% year-over-year. Mobile MAUs sitting at 751 million is an increase of a mammoth 54% year-over-year.

As you can see, the center of all of this is mobile. Facebook know this, and are pushing out better mobile apps, such as Home. Sure, I use Facebook on my desktop, but I live on it on my mobile - if I'm away from my desktop or notebook, I'm on my Facebook app constantly.

Intel have just taken the wraps off of the new naming on their integrated graphics found in the fourth-generation Core processors, otherwise known as "Haswell". Welcome to the Intel Iris and Iris Pro Graphics. Iris Pro will be available on select CPUs denoted by an R at the end, such as the i7-4770R.

Iris is a huge leap over the previous third-generation Core processors, with nearly twice the graphics performance and over three times the graphics performance of the second-generation Core processors.

When Intel compare their fourth-generation Ultrabook part, the Core i7-4558U (a 28W part) gets pitted against the Core i7-4650U (a 15W part) and the third-generation Core i7-3687U (a 17W part) it is a decent distance from them in terms of performance. Compared to the previous-generation part, the new i7-4558U is over twice as fast in 3DMark 11, and around 1.5x the performance in both 3DMark 06 and 3DMark Vantage.

Moving into higher-end of things, we have the fourth-generation Core i7 4900MQ (47W), Core i7-4950HQ (also a 47W part) and the Core i7-4950HQ (a 55W part) compared against the third-generation Core i7-3840QM (a 45M part). As you can see, the new processors' integrated graphics have some great performance gains.

Gamers Arena have posted a couple of pictures of Gigabyte's upcoming Haswell-compatible motherboard, the Z87 G1-Killer. There's two pictures that we've posted below, check them out.

The first one is a close-up of the motherboard, showing us that there is a lot going on around the CPU socket, with some extra cooling for the VRMs which is great to see. The second shot is a full photo of the motherboard, which has me in goosebumps. It looks awesome, and I want one, now.

Google has added a Remote Desktop feature to its Google+ Hangouts. Now you can provide tech support as if you are in the same room as the user. What's really nice about this remote desktop implementation is that Google+ Hangouts still allows you to see and chat with each other. Most remote desktop services don't include video or audio chat.

Hangouts Remote Desktop lets you help others by controlling their computer remotely (with their permission, of course). And because you're both in a Hangout, you can talk with and see each other during the session.

It's rather simple to get started. All you have to do is be in a Hangout and click View more Apps > Add Apps > Hangouts Remote Desktop. Since it's based on the same technology used in Chrome Remote Desktop, you can remain reasonably certain that the technology is both safe, secure, and stable.

Twitter has released yet another update for its iOS app, bringing with it the typical feature additions and bug fixes. This specific update brings with it support for location-based Trends, making it easy to view Trends in hundreds of locations.

Other feature additions include the ability to invite friends to join Twitter via the app. Twitter has also instituted numerous bug fixes and performance enhancements. Vine videos now feature improved playback, replies to retweeted Tweets now include both the author and person who retweeted the Tweet, and various other bug fixes have been implemented.

You can download the latest version of Twitter for iOS from the App Store.

According to data released by Net Applications, BlackBerry picked up a bit of market share in the month of April. Net Applications watches mobile web usage, which is different to normal market share estimates that are based solely on the number of devices sold and in circulation.

Net Application's data shows that BlackBerry gained a small amount of market share. BlackBerry climbed to 1.51 percent for April, up from February's 1.39 percent. iOS, meanwhile, fell by about 1.5 percent to a still-impressive 59.04 percent. Android claimed 26.02 percent of the market, up about one percent.

Microsoft will hopefully reveal all about the Xbox at their E3 meeting. The Windows maker has officially sent out invites for their Xbox E3 2013 media briefing that will occur on June 10. For those who don't know, E3 2013 runs from June 11 to June 13, so this meeting will take place the day before the show opens.

Due to this invite being sent out, we're not sure just how much Microsoft will unveil at the May 21 event. It's possible that this June 10 meida briefing will be used to get the console into the hands of members of the media, or it could be a time when more details regarding the Xbox are unveiled.

We'll be sure to report on all of the news from the event. Stay tuned to TweakTown for all of the latest Xbox news.

For the past couple of years, The Pirate Bay has been on the move. We've reported on the ship's sailings around the world, including exotic ports of call in North Korea, Iceland, and now the Caribbean island of Sint Maarten. The move comes as Swedish prosecutor Fredrik Ingblad attempts the seizure of thepiratebay.se, piratebay.se, and now thepiratebay.is.

Iceland's domain registar, ISNIC, has previously stated that they would not take down thepiratebay.is unless ordered to by a court. "Such an action would require a formal order from an Icelandic court. ISNIC is not responsible for a registrant's usage of their domains."

ISNIC will legally fight attempts to use the domain name registry system to police/censor the net. We believe that to be ineffective, wrong and dangerous to the stability of the DNS as a whole.

This means The Pirate Bay is now accessible through the TLD thepiratebay.sx. We do enjoy the irony that The Pirate Bay has now moved into the Caribbean. However, we don't expect Disney to make a movie about these pirates.

Nintendo has issued a statement regarding the story we ran yesterday about the Wii U being hacked so possibly pirated games could be played. According to Nintendo, they haven't seen any unauthorized applications running on a Wii U while in Wii U mode.

Nintendo is aware that a hacking group claims to have compromised Wii U security. However, we have no reports of illegal Wii U games nor unauthorized applications playable on the system while in Wii U mode. Nintendo continuously monitors all threats to its products' security and will use technology and will take the necessary legal steps to prevent the facilitation of piracy.

Not to be outdone, the makers of the Wiikey have posted a response to Nintendo's statement on their site. The response consists of four cryptic lines of what appears to be hexadecimal code:

57 55 50 2D 50 2D 41 52 50 50 2D 30 30 2D 31 30

31 45 55 52 2D 32 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00

00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00

00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00

It's likely that Nintendo will be able to block the Wii U hack through a software update, though it's possible that they won't be able to. If they do, it's always possible the hackers could reverse-engineer the the firmware again and re-enable the hack.

It looks as though the iOS 7 team is in crunch time as WWDC approaches. According to an AllThingsD source, Apple is "borrowing" engineers from the OS X 10.9 team to work on iOS 7. If the rumors we've been hearing about iOS 7 come to fruition, it's not completely surprising they're in need of a few extra engineers.

iOS 7 is reportedly undergoing some massive UI tweaks and changes. Gone are the days of skeuomorphic design cues. Instead, we should be facing a flatter, more Jony Ive-style interface. According to one source, "Put it this way. You know Game Center's green felt craps table? Well, goodbye, Circus Circus."

We'll be reporting on all the changes in iOS 7 when it eventually makes its debut. Until then, what would you like to see in the new iOS 7?

Facebook has reported its first-quarter earnings today, with mixed results. In some regards, Facebook has done well; in others, Facebook didn't quite make the mark. For instance, Facebook pulled in a total of $1.46 billion in revenue, up 38 percent year-over-year. This beat analyst expectations of $1.44 billion.

On the other hand, Facebook reported earnings per share of 12 cents, which was below the analyst expectations of 13 cents per share. Mobile advertising accounted for 30 percent of Facebook's advertising revenue that totaled $1.25 billion.

Facebook is touting 1.11 billion active monthly users as of March 31, with 665 million being daily users. Mobile monthly active users came in at 751 million, a 54 percent growth year-over-year. Facebook still has some issues to work out, but at least it didn't completely miss the mark. Shares closed at $27.43, but are up slighting in after-hours trading.

Everybody's favorite little rover, Curiosity, is back in contact with its handlers on Earth, now that Mars and Earth are in an alignment where communication is possible. Curiosity had previously been sitting mostly idle for the last four weeks while the sun blocked communications between Earth and Mars.

The first step NASA has to complete is to update Curiosity's software. After Curiosity is brought up to speed, its handlers will instruct the rover to continue analysis on Yellowknife Bay. Yellowknife Bay is the location that Curiosity has already found the basic building blocks of life.

We just didn't stumble into this area. This was something that took a lot of planning. In case something happened with the rover we needed to make sure we had science to do in that landing ellipse. What was serendipitous was landing in a past aqueous environment and finding sulfates and clays...The hope is we find some other examples of habitable environments. There are a bunch of different geological reasons why there could be more of less carbon in one place.

Eventually, scientists want Curiosity to climb up Mount Sharp.

Say we find something that looks like another attractive ancient potentially habitable environment and it's 200 meters above the base of Mount Sharp. We can go up there and then from there we can go not just upward but also downward again. So if you're looking for something, you can explore in both directions of time's arrow.

We recently reported a study which showed that using voice commands to text, such as Siri, was as bad for safety as texting manually. However, Siri's co-inventor, Adam Cheyer, claims that the study's findings is invalid. He argues that the study "seems to have misunderstood how Siri was designed to be used."

According to Cheyer, they purposely designed a car mode for Siri. When in car mode, Siri is prevented from running commands that would require looking at the screen or pushing buttons. "Of course your driving performance is going to be degraded if you're reading screens and pushing buttons."

Siri will automatically read back dictated text when connected to a wired or Bluetooth headset. Texas Transportation Institute, when asked about this, confirmed that the study did not make use of Siri's car mode, which does validate the claim of Cheyer that the study's findings may not be completely applicable to iPhones.

The creators of the popular first-person shooter known as Call of Duty have released a new trailer for the upcoming Call of Duty: Ghosts, the name of which was leaked last week. The new trailer is embedded below for your viewing pleasure. Note, it's a live-action trailer likely because they aren't ready to release what the graphics will look like.

Activision confirmed that the new Call of Duty game would eventually make its way to the next-generation platforms, as well as the current crop of consoles. We'll get our first look at the game during Microsoft's Xbox event on May 21. We still don't know quite what to expect from Microsoft, though we expect the Xbox 720 to be detailed.

Mark Rubin, executive producer of developer Infinity Ward:

Everyone was expecting us to make Modern Warfare 4, which would have been the safe thing to do. But we're not resting on our laurels. We saw the console transition as the perfect opportunity to start a new chapter for Call of Duty. So we're building a new sub-brand, a new engine, and a lot of new ideas and experiences for our players. We can't wait to share them with our community.
