The Mechanics of Genius: Upsilandre's LittleBigComputer

What is it about foreign postal service workers and creative genius? First, Einstein develops his theory of relativity and now this — a French mail carrier has built a virtual steampunk calculator using the LittleBigPlanet beta kit.

Composed of 610 magnetic switches, 500 wires, 430 pistons and 70 emitters, the 'digital' device is capable of 8-bit addition and subtraction and doubles as a game level.

'Upsilandre,' as the French creator is known, may have just built one of the Seven Wonders of the LittleBigPlanet world.
