When I read this blog post, it was like opening a Christmas present and getting socks.

I don't know much about the state of the art, the points in contention between the people in this argument, or quantum computing in general. An article that explained the competing standards for what constitutes a quantum computer and either made a case for why one standard is more useful or described how one participant's argument was inconsistent with their standard would have been genuinely helpful. Instead I read a link to a TED talk, epistemological meta-babble, and a promise that further experiments are incoming.

This company may be completely legitimate and its product may be the most revolutionary thing since sliced bread, but I didn't know before I read this post, I don't know now, and I now think their CTO sounds too Steorn-y for comfort.
