Sensor size is secondary. A particular format (35mm, ideal, 4x5) means that the camera body is compatible with a certain type of lens, which projects an image of a standard size at a standard focal length. The sensor or film size doesn't necessarily take up this full frame. Dslr camera bodies are all based on 35mm standards, but most do not capture the full 35mm frame projected by compatible lenses. A medium format camera would still be a medium format camera even if it had a point-and-shoot size sensor; it just wouldn't make any sense.

Of course, 'medium format' is a catchall that includes a range of frame sizes.
I think that the obvious melding of 'Vonage' and 'Broadband,' is ... 'Bondage'. I could swear that already means something, though..
Has anyone else noticed that if you kind of squint, this thing looks like a Converse sneaker? I think that's weird.
Spriggan, anyone?
Late in coming, but still pretty as hell. I would definitely use it to impress the ladies. At least the tech-savvy ones.
Apple Store is up.
Agreed, Grant. Getting around NYC is a bitch in the winter because you can't ride your bike in the snow. I would totally use one of these.
I support this legislation as the first step on the road to this brave new world:

In all seriousness, Chris is right on. I forced myself to go to school every single day, back when, but past elementary school (Florida has a full-time elementary school gifted program), it was mostly just a miserable, pointless experience. A decade or so out, a college degree and Fulbright grant under my belt, and a couple of years spent teaching volunteer classes to NYC high school students, I'm still pissed about all the time that I had to waste back in the 11-17 years. You want to make kids stay in school? Make it a worthwhile experience. Kids are a lot smarter than people give them credit for, and if more time was spent trying to teach them rather than trying to discipline them, schools would see a lot more enthusiasm from their students.
Yes, HD-DVD drive and cordless headset. Please. Please?
Let the hive mind of Engadget get that for you.
"I just moved into a new apartment and have been reading about all of the new power strips out there, especially the green ones. I was wondering if you had any suggestions about which "green "power strips are out there with decent joules ratings. And when I say green, I mean power strips that have the remotes or switches to turn off all electricity flowing to certain plugs and with at least 2 plugs that are always on. I was looking specifically at sub $50 because I will need two, but if that is not possible I could be convinced otherwise. Thanks!"
