Hello guys,

I was reading my daily news when I saw this:
http://www.telegraph.co.uk/technology/news/12042781/Google-D-Wave-quantum-computer-is-100-million-times-faster-than-your-PC.html

If you don't want to open this link, the title is: "Google’s new quantum computer is '100 million times faster than your PC". They also say "It can answer certain algorithms in seconds rather than years".  Shocked

I'm kind of worried, but I don't know if I should be, what you guys think about this? I don't mine but this could affect me somehow if Google decide to use it to mine Bitcoins  Tongue
(any language mistakes? Sorry for that, english is not my native language).

Everything can be possible but I think that the owners of google have no need to mine. They have mountains of money and don't know what to do with those. They have already even a world class business which is the first ranked in its field. At the end I cannot believe that they can do something that can make bad to bitcoin and to its community. Have no reasons to do this. The power they will gain if will mine bitcoin (if decide to mine with this kind of computer) will give them nothing that them have not already. Or that cannot buy already. So, I don't see any threat of the Google computer for bitcoin.
