So one company mentioned in that now evaporated article is Pingar. So I go to their website and have a read ( http://www.pingar.com/ ) They have a slightly useful search technology. I don't think that it is anything magical however. They (by-proxy) have received money from the MED to develop their product, and now want to patent it? Maybe charge other NZ companies money if they develop something similar? Please, this is faeces. Watch a video of their search product here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0rwbf56g66k&feature=related Urgh!

They are made up of mostly foreign companies, and some partners of those same companies (e.g. the various members of Microsoft partners programmes) NZICT doesn’t deserve NZ in their name.
