To try and throw some water on the fire:

The company is HumanCentric Technologies of Cary.  They are a usability 
testing firm.  They do not market products themselves, they do human 
factors testing for other firms.

Their studies usually require you to sign a NDA before participating.  They 
do not attempt to sell you anything, nor can you buy the prototypes under 
test, even if you want one badly. :-)

I've participated in several of their studies.  Easy money.
