Now you've hurt my feelings, the G5 a quad no less, is not he least bit wonky, you're correct in suspecting camera perspective as the culprit.Very pretty. From the perspective, the G5 looks a lil bit wonky
It is called surprising enough a "Kensington ExpertMouse"
A really old and very much attached to favorite.
4 programmable buttons and a man-sized ball, about the size of a cue ball.
It sort of kind of reminds me of the old Kensington Turbo Mouse, which has a similar "Cue Ball" for the trackball. Of course, the ExpertMouse looks a lot more ergonomic.
I have a couple the Turbo Mice in ADB. They always throw me off, though, because they have two buttons but the left button is dead on ADB. Even so, they're nice to use. BTW, with regard to the buttons-I have a newer ADB trackball(Logitech, I think) with three buttons and two of them are functional under OS X, so I don't think it's a limitation of ADB.

Woo! Getting a 17" ACD off of craigslist for my QuickSilver. Complete with box and manuals.
I know, it was a great deal. The seller wanted $80 for it, but I knew it couldn't be used with anything that didn't have an ADC port. Talked him down to $30 and had him meet me a mile from my house. Came all in its original box, which was slightly marred with a shipping sticker, some scratches, and a missing outer square. I opened the box and removed the protective foam and cover. It was beautiful! Like I said, no scratches, no dust, etc. Very nice looking!
I just need to get the rear USB ports working...
Mega post!
I was bored, so I decided to line up all my apple laptops in size order and do a photo shoot of them. Pretty impressed with the way they came out;
Brief Video of all of the laptops;
And of course, some Apple Logo shots!
Also for a brief amount of time just to take the pictures, I stacked all of them on top of each other (poor 17in...);

2 more since it was 10 max...
It just so happens to play out that I have at least one of every screen size (accept for the 12in MacBook Air) Apple used on their laptops, which is 12in, 12.5in, 13in, 14in, 15in, and 17in.
Left to right in size order (top to bottom for the stack pictures)-
PowerBook G4 12in 2005 -> iBook G4 12in 2005 -> MacBook Pro 13in 2011 -> MacBook 13in 2009 -> PowerBook G3 Series II 14in 1998 -> PowerBook G4 15in 2003 -> PowerBook G4 17in 2003

I especially like the video you posted that requires "Flash" to all of us on a PPC forum, most who will be viewing your post using TFF.
Whoops, lol. Very sorry about that. I uploaded it from Tapatalk on my phone so I had no control over that.
Weird, I can watch this on my iPad without issues and an iPad obviously does not have flash player.
I don't see it as "weird" at all.
Your ipad is built to automatically view these videos using alternate methods, HTML5 etc.
PPC systems because of their older hardware can only sometimes be made to do this with additional software ad-ons and not everyone is set up to do this.
See my post here.
Yeah, in response to the original comment, the player is specifically designed to use Flash or HTML5 on desktop (depending on the browser), and because mobile devices can't use Flash, it's HTML5 only. If you tricked the desktop browser by changing the user agent to a mobile browser, it would show up as a HTML5 video, therefore it would load fine on PowerPC machines.
