Orangutans to Skype between zoos with iPads | ExtremeTech

That story facinates me. But doesn't surprise me at all, Orangutans make the best librarians, after all.

Still the fact of them playing video games and the like I find very interesting and humorous. I wonder if wild orangutans would show the same kind of interest?

Apple can now advertise that their tablets are so easy to use, even a monkey can do it.

Orangutans may be geeks, but they can still open up a can of whoop when needed. Don't try to take away that iPad.

Looks like the zoo wanted an excuse to justify the iPads the zoo keepers asked the administration to buy. I'm pretty sure the primates that primarily uses those iPads are huma (except for when they want to have a photo op).
