      On 8th June, Google, Facebook, Yahoo! etc will be the most organizations that will offer their content over IPv6 for 24-hour "test flight".

      The aim of the "test flight" is to motivate the organizations like Internet Service Providers, Hardware vendors, Web sites; to prepare their services for IPv6 to ensure successful transition as 4 address run out.

      So Google created the Google over IPv6 program, where ISP have to promise search giant that they have good IPv6. In turn, Google will respond to DNS requests from those networks with IPv6 addresses for various Google properties such as google.com and youtube.com.

      At this point, it's hard to predict what this experiment could mean for the amount of IPv6 traffic that flows through the Intertubes. If a lot of users are IPv6-enabled, a good amount of traffic can move from IPv4 to IPv6 overnight. This depends on how many additional sites and networks join the effort, though.

      So, Lets see whether your Internet Service Provider updates IPv6 test it here.

      With the help of psychologists, economists, and robotics an range of institutions are to program an Robot which will mimic the nonverbal gestures and tics that humans use to signal their trustworthiness. Yes, an Robot named as Nexi is cracking the code of why humans trust.

Northeastern psychology professor David DeSteno explains why this is crucial:
      "People tend to mimic each others body language, which might help them develop intuitions about what other people are feeling — intuitions about whether they'll treat them fairly."

      While researchers believe that it's down to subtle non-verbal cues that we pick up on as we interact with people, and has created a wide-eyed robot to try and find out exactly which gestures help us decide whether a person is trustworthy or not.

      In other words, our tendency to imitate the gestures & nonverbal cues of others gives us insight into their motivations and intentions. It's then a question of translating this information into an intuitive hunch as to whether the person we're talking to is as trustworthy as they say they are. If that's true, there should be specific gestures Nexi can do that will either maximize or minimize people's assessment of its trustworthiness.

      The Testing with Nexi is done using an economic game known as "Give Some", the humans have to decide how to share the sum of money equally between them and Nexi, as well as how they would get if an distribution is done by Nexi .

      These is how help researches to continue their work by testing whether Nexi can assess the trustworthiness of its human conversation partners.

      According to the latest news update it is possible now to hold the hands of your family & friends over internet with the help of specially designed robotic hands which experiences you the sensation of touch.

      It simply plugs into the computer & communicates with an electronic wristband to experience the sensation touch while shaking hand with your friends & family.

      Its not only shake & grip, but also able to give the signs of OK & Peace. These tool is developed by scientists at the Chinese university of Hong Kong .

      It works by using the electrical impulses generated by muscles as they contract. The signals are picked up by a sensor which sends signals to the computer that uses software to turn it into muscle movements.

      The information is transmitted over the internet to the receiving computer, where the signals are translated into instructions for the robotic hand that carries out the same hand movement, the media report said.

      The intention behind the research team had been to develop something which could help the elderly keep in touch with their families.

      "Although they can show their care through phone calls, physical touch is still a better way to express love. With the system, elderly people and their children and grandchildren can touch and hold hands via the internet and show affection directly."
