Google Thinks Anyone Can Fault-Tolerantly Quantum Compute

Considering that anyons don't actually exist, Google's response actually makes a lot of sense.

Well, maybe they do.

That's a stretch!

Google has made several things possible for anyone that were previously pretty niche. Google Earth, SketchUp, Jabber chat, ... exploration of Mars. Maybe this is just they're latest Google Labs product. If they're smart, they'll use the obvious catchy name: Google Fusion (beta).

A stretch, yes. But the box tightens a bit, I think, with that experiment. What odds would you give me for evidence of anyons in the next decade? (I'm sure your VCs would support the bet. Wait, I can't play at that level :) )
