My favorites:

http://ychacks.challengepost.com/submissions/25722-savant - basically text searchable system playback. Think Timemachine meets quicktime recorder.

http://ychacks.challengepost.com/submissions/25720-gezi-web-... - Tabless browser. It was an interesting concept using the history as the search/navigation display. He struggled to sell during the pitch.

http://ychacks.challengepost.com/submissions/25770-listening... - This was an audio parser that realtime searched what you were saying in a conversation. So if you said "Apple stock versus microsoft stock" it would search and result would be displayed.

The juggling was extremely impressive and having to juggle for like a hour during the demo session was amazing.

Glad you liked ListeningPost - you can play with it here: http://www.bunkmates.co/

502 mate.
