iRazor Pro
A short term project by Marion Rosemarie Wagner

The New Yorker CCC recently showed us how one can break into a
Kensington lock with a mere roll of toilet paper. Since then we know:
THERE IS NO PROTECTION for our PowerBooks, unless someone we trust is
looking after them, or they’re locked away, or they’re in the safest
place on Earth: at home.
As a matter of fact, nature has provided a means of protection for
entities which are helpless against stronger foes: spikes, in the form
of quills, thorns, prickles, and the like. Animals such as the
porcupine have them, as do plants, such as thistles and roses. The
Quertzwerker has already discovered what happens when a pit-bull takes
on a porcupine.
With regards to our civilization, razor blades are a more deterring
phenomenon than spikes. That being said, the iRazor Pro is an analogous
mechanical solution, whereby its blades are exposed if need be. It is
made out of transparent and white/opaque Plexiglas composed of four
combined and connected layers. Once the PowerBook owner pulls the ring
around the “Apple” symbol apart, the razor blades come out – the ring
pulled together pulls them back in.

Picture: Here (underneath the blade) is the opening for the previously
mentioned Kensington lock. The razor blades stick out approximately 3
millimeters and are supposed to be more of a means of deterrence than a
cause of injury.
