This guy has built a functioning "physical" 16 bit logic circuit in Mindcraft that he can use to do addition and perform bits of logic. Get this -- you do addition by lighting stuff with a torch and it burns through the logic gates and then you read the answer by counting in binary based on what is burning on the other side of the giant computer. Even better - he wants this to be a platform for others to start to build apps within the game on. WHOA! It is similar to what building computers was like 30 years ago. Hotness. http://www.techdirt.com/articles/20100929/01190911211/guy-building-a-working-yes-working-computer-inside-a-video-game.shtml Mind=blown.
