  The Top New Videos list is always full of interesting, current videos. It is always recommended that you have a look through the Top New Videos, but also have a look at these:
  - Upcoming Unsifted Videos - active video submissions that neither are published to the front page nor archived to the submitter's personal queue
- Have you seen a really funny, surprising, scary, interesting, cute or in any other way extra good quality video?
  Post and share it here - VideoSift is the best video aggregator on the Web, where we share, discuss, promote, and interact with the best videos out there on the web. Post it here, and share it with the large community of video-interested users. And - you are guaranteed to find more very good videos here already!
  Mind you, we only share videos you discover that someone else has made; if you "self link," by posting a video you have made, have posted or have interests in, you risk the ban hammer - read the posting guidelines before posting. The sift is NOT for promoting your own videos - it is for sharing videos others have made.

Apes With Apps

FROM IEEE:
It’s a typical workday, and Panbanisha, Kanzi’s younger sister, is sitting before a 42-inch touch-screen display. She’s doing a match-to-sample task: When she presses a green button in the middle of the screen, the computer’s text-to-speech synthesizer says “apple,” and then the lexigram for the word apple appears on screen, along with two other lexigrams, for dog and sorry. Panbanisha touches the one for apple. After five correct responses, she gets to pick a short video to watch. She selects one of her favorites: a clip from Tarzan the Ape Man.

i suppose if you don't know much about comparative cognition, this is probably impressive? non-human animals are capable of far more interesting cognitive feats than matching to sample, though.

also this is a clip of kanzi (description kinda implies it might be panbanisha)

Thanks for pointing that out. I took this part of the article because it kinda explains the process behind this totally unimpressive gimmick.
