The web app can then be used as the basis for a Reddit.com bot that can post relevant XKCD's based on the context of comments from posts, and be trained based on the amount of upvotes it recieves.

tabbr is a search engine for tabs. Navigating to a tab slows down with more tabs. Instead, tabbr jumps directly to the tab you want by searching for it. A ranking algorithm will select the tab you want based on many factors, such as keywords in the tab content, tab title, tab url, frequency of accesses, most recently used, and other factors.

Exchanging contacts can be a pain at any networking event. By crowd sourcing contact information, we make getting someone's number as easy as typing their name into a search box. We use twilio to accept "contact requests" even for those who don't have the app. We built the back end off Parse for a scalable solution that will take us beyond our first 3 thousand contacts to millions around the nation.

Our iPhone App is a suite of services that use the I/O devices of the phone in unique ways. It features a "Friction Finder": a service that uses the accelerometer to find the coefficient of friction between the phone and another surface by sliding the phone along it. It also has a "Record Player" that uses the phone's gyroscope; you can play music at variable speed by spinning your phone about the z-axis.

A trashcan that sorts items into recyclables and non-recyclables based on the sound that the item makes as it enters the trashcan.
This prototype uses the sound that a material makes when it hits a platform to determine what the material is, and based on that information, determines whether or not the item is recyclable.
