With all this talk of keeping yourself safe from laptops, what have you done lately to keep your laptop safe? Electronic duo effect69 went to extremes for a Burning Man performance by building custom "clean room" containment for their Mac laptops. Constructed out of PVC and acrylic, the cases even include the requisite built-in rubber gloves—though that surely makes playing these laptops that much harder. The idea was to keep out Burning Man's destructive sand out, but if your laptop happens to come into contact with an alien virus, you can keep yourself safe, too. – Peter Kirn
