One of D-wave's founders is now trying to patent teleoperation of robots and pass it off as "novel": http://spectrum.ieee.org/automaton/robotics/artificial-intel...

Also, tossing in some machine learning which I presume they're also trying to patent (because it's not as if UC Berkeley and Google have done that 15 times a year since 2010)....

All this makes me think they're not legit.
