Is there actual proof that any advanced mining technology exists?

Is there actual proof that any advanced mining technology exists?  Or are they all "being developed"?  Has anyone used and reviewed this technology?

Thanks

It's called the search function. If you are talking about ASICs, Avalon has delivered at least a handful of them, and ASICMINER has deployed at least 4,3 GH/s worth.

67117 is ASICMINER.   ;-)

There are a few Avalons mining on Ozcoin, only one of the miners doesn't hide behind the "anon" flag and chats in IRC
they exist and are mining
