Now if this whole thing could be accomplished using pure redstone circuitry http://www.escapistmagazine.com/news/view/109385-Computer-Bu...

Redstone has no means of communication to the outside, so even if you created an entire computer with redstone(very unlikely) you would have no means of communication outside of minecraft.

That would be a neat experiment to see if the conjecture, "Redstone has no means of communication to the outside" is true. It would be interesting to find bugs within the redstone rendering engine that leak or emit data. I'm thinking of something similar to the Super Mario World bank switching pong game.

I'd like to hear more about the bulbs used. Cheap wifi bulbs with a simple protocol sound like fun.

prob the Phillips bulbs. Sadly they don't sit flush in most sockets, despite using the same fixture name.

The Philips Hue bulb is the only one I'm really aware of, but I didn't think they were cheap. From the post it sounded like he was using something similar to the Hue bulbs but much cheaper.
