Times have really changed... North Technologies domain name is:

n-o-r-t-h-t-e-c-h-n-o-l-o-g-i-e-s.com

My office firewall blocked the site due to it being in the category "adult".

I wonder what (obviously poorly crafted) filter/rule it triggered.. Too many dashes?

Domains with lots of dashes are usually webspam, exact match domains.

I don't think there's any correlation with porn.

Same here
Might start a trend. m-i-c-r-o-s-o-f-t.net is available for 12 bucks
$12 plus $15,000 for the legal fees

Wow. I guess it doesn't really matter to them considering they're building multiple products. The domains for those products are probably more important unless they were branding the products with North.
Tabbing around on that site there is link to google maps: https://www.google.com/maps/place/Pinkcomma+Gallery/@42.3420...

Is my browser just making the link not obvious?

The only link on the page for me was the name which linked back to the homepage...which I was already on.
I only see it on Chrome. Tried in Safari and Firefox and got nothing.

Parsed the source and all I see is some flickr sites credited for the image.

No idea how I got that.

If they used capitals, it could possibly be a play on the notation of cardinal directions.
