Google teaming up with D-Wave has been making a lot of noise lately. I wasn't originally going to write anything about it, until I came across a recent post by Scott Aaronson titled "Hopefully my last D-Wave post ever". I thought the way he wrote it was humorous- I liked the fictional interchange. I recommend reading both the post and comments.
I don't really have too much more to add other than to quote Carl Sagan: "extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence" [1]. We're still waiting for the extraordinary evidence from D-Wave.
