NIB IBM M4 Keyboard in Super High Res Photosynth

Just received a NIB IBM M4 from iMav. To my surprise, there is a separate numpad in the box. Instead of taking regular pictures, this time I took a bunch of close-up pictures and processed them with photosynth.net. Here is the link:

When you are there, click the full screen button (highlighted with the red square) to go full screen. Then use your mouse wheel to zoom all the way in and out to see all the details from every part of the keyboard.
Works for me with IE9, FF6, Chrome on Win7. I think it needs Microsoft Silverlight.
Enjoy!

Needs a watermark.

Adding watermark would screw up cloud point matching. But would be nice to have one on the full photosynth.

j/k
Webwit would remove it anyway. This is NOT his favorite compact keyboard.

Indeed, it doesn't work on Linux.
Couldn't they have used HTML 5 ?!?

Poor guys at MS are still trying to force people to use their proprietary pointless "technologies"

Photosynth and the logo make me think of Dutch weed.

Fine on Safari 5.1 (OSX 10.6.8).

Works for me on basic (Win7 integrated) IE8 with no Silverlight nor any other MS addon crap installed. Yet not viewable in my beefed up FF6.
Is the apparent defect on the ]} key surface a physical imperfection or an artifact of the Photosynth process?

I blame Microsoft any time there is a booger in my pictures.

Just took a look at the keyboard. It is just a speck of dust. It is gone now

I can't tell if that's just a little picture of a disapproving face holding a firearm ... or if it's it a message written in some Asian pictographic language I can't even identify. Either way, it seems to convey what you are saying about Silverlight.

Without Silverlight I wouldn't have Netflix Watch Now.
I love Netflix Watch Now. Just wish it had more porn.

Thanks ripster, you just reminded to cancel netflix as new school year and new prime time shows are starting next month. We won't have time to watch netflix for quite some time.

Interesting... I'm in the market for an M4, how much did you pay for it if you don't mind me asking?

I bought it from iMav over at GH for $82 shipped. I think he still has one to sell here:

Looks like he still has 2 M4-1 and 1 M4 for sale. They are new but not NIB.
