The D-Wave is not a quantum computer by the usual meaning of that term.
It's only a "quantum computer" by a definition created by their market department. A definition that also classifies as "quantum computer" the one you have on your desk.

Yes, that's the definition they use on their site. No, I don't think applying it verbatim to my computer is unfair.
Ok, they created a different kind of classical computer. One that may be able to solve some kinds of problems better, like a specialized computer often does. Yes, it could have been huge (but wasn't - too bad). But it's not a quantum computer, and their marketing is dishonest.
