The crew at Signal Snowboards have used their Every Third Thursday show to celebrate Steve Jobs, who inspired and built products every snowboarder loves. It’s one of the first snowboards to utilize an aluminum base, with light blasting through the Signal logo, no different than your favorite MacBook.

Starbucks has a new app that utilizes the magic of augmented reality to inject some holiday spirit into your day. Here’s how it works. Download the Starbucks Cup Magic app from the App Store and visit your local Starbucks. There are assorted items that feature a character, these items include red cups, bags of Christmas Blend and others. Here’s the fun part, they come to life through augmented reality, right on your iPhone.
The app also promises holiday offers and allows for sending eGifts, in case anyone would like to send this author an early Christmas gift.
It’s free, fun and jammed with holiday spirt, but it will only work with the iPhone 3GS or later. Those with an iPhone 3G or original iPhone are stuck with plain ole’ reality and a good cup o’joe.
Try it out and let us know how it works for you.
The mighty Man of Steel, the Last Son of Krypton, the Tomorrow Man himself has finally landed in the App Store with the official release of Superman for iPhone and iPod touch by Chillingo Ltd. This isn’t a movie tie-in or flashy 3D flyer/fighter, this is a fun, casual, decidedly 2D adventure with an almost old school, retro platform feel to it. Check out the video above and the details below.
Note: Chillingo states that the game works on the iPad too. This is true however it is not a universal binary so you will have to run it in 2X mode which is never a great experience. Let’s hope they get an HD version into the App Store soon.

Pretty crazy method, but if it works, this is would be excellent news. The author warns users that it “could mess up your cellular radio, though it’s very unlikely“. Who wants to give it a try?
