What's funny is that D-Wave is actually taking the smart approach. They're not trying to build a general purpose quantum computer, they're trying to build an architecture to solve a particular class of problems using quantum computing, which is far more achievable and more likely to be immediately useful. So even at the start they were far less snake-oily than other outfits.
