Vuvu-what-zela? If that’s the question on your mind, we should be directing you to the FIFA Worldcup happening as we blog this very post over in South-Africa. Vuvuzelas are nothing but the blowing horn which is traditionally associated with South-African football.

There are stand-alone applications to filter the Vuvuzela noise from the Worldcup broadcasts which are widely used by cable operators world-wide. It may be a matter of concern for others but the joy of blowing Vuvuzelas is unmatchable and our friends at MMMOOO just saved you a trip down to Cape Town as you can very much blow your own Vuvuzela wherever you (or rather your 5800) are (is).

That’s not all for we moved back to our shuffler tool to select the rest of the winners so that we have 15 winners in total, the list of which you will find after the break. Read more »
