We have all grown to love it and some of us hate it very much, but no matter how you feel about the Vuvuzela it is here to stay throughout the 2010 World Cup tournament.

I have come to the conclusion that it is usually those that do not have a Vuvuzela or has not had the chance to blow one that gets upset with it, I mean it is just so much fun. Even if you do not have a Vuvuzela you get applications for your phones that simulates the noise of a Vuvuzela blowing when you touch the screen.

Thats all cool, but how about having a Vuvuzela as your ringtone? Now wouldn’t that be awesome? Surprising everybody with the Vuvuzela horn blowing when your phone rings will just make their days so much better.

You can now download the Free Vuvuzela Ringtone for your phone, yea free no strings attached. Just download the mp3 file of the Vuvuzela and put it on your phone and set as ringtone.

So what are you waiting for? Go and download the ringtone already and start surprising the people around with a Vuvuzela horn when your phone rings.

A red card to Khune, South African goal keeper, in a match between Bafana Bafana and Uruguy left many fans in anger.

What do you think? Should South African goal keeper Khune have been red carded?

With the Vuvuzela being constantly in the news since the start of the World Cup, it was bound to happen soon.

Word of the Vuvuzela has made it to Hitler and he is really not happy with it.

Just love this parody, but also the Vuvuzela, will be blowing mine tonight for Bafana.

Although DSTV has no plans to offer any local 3-D content anytime soon, Nu Metro cinemas are bringing the 3-D World Cup experience to local viewers.

Nu Metro cinemas in association with SuperSport and DSTV have partnered to bring South African viewers live footage of certain World Cup matches on the big screen.

With the World Cup in full swing, Sony has been promoting their new range of 3-D television aggressively here in South Africa but to the locals dismay there is no use for it yet in South Africa as only overseas sport networks like ESPN is offering the World Cup games in 3-D.

Nu Metro will over live screenings of the World Cup in 3-D at the following selected cinemas, Emperors Palace, Montecasino, Clearwater Mall, The Glen, Bedford Centre, Hyde Park, Menlyn Park, The Pavilion, Galleria, V&A Waterfront, Canal Walk, Riverside Mall, Loch Logan and Walmer Park.

If you are interested in viewing a live World Cup match in 3-D the following games will be shown:

Tickets go on sale from Wednesday 16 June 2010, so make sure you are one of the first to take advantage of this first time experience here in South Africa.

What started out as a fun way to express your excitement for the World Cup, the Vuvuzela has got everybody talking again and this time its not about the great spirit it is showing from fans.

The bee-like noise of the Vuvuzela has been echoing throughout all of the World Cup stadiums since the opening ceremony and what at first showed spirit and enthusiasm towards the game are now starting to irritate spectators and fans alike.

Danny Jordaan, South Africa’s World Cup organising chief said that they may start banning Vuvuzela’s from inside stadium due to a high number of complaints from viewers and broadcasters.

Vuvuzela is still a trending topic on Twitter but not a positive one anymore, users on the popular social networking site are complaining about the noise of the Vuvuzela and are asking for its ban, some even calling it the most annoying sound of 2010.

The captain of the French Football team,Patrice Evra, has even blamed the Vuvuzela for their poor performance on their opening match against Uruguay. ”We can’t sleep at night because of the vuvuzelas,” Evra said. “People start playing them from 6 a.m.”

Clearly the Vuvuzela is causing some bad publicity for the South African hosted World Cup, with most overseas viewers asking for its ban.

Whats your opinion? Do you think the Vuvuzela should be banned from World Cup matches? Please leave us comment and tell us what you think.

Last week Google announced a new feature that enables you to add your favorite picture as your Google homepage background. Initially it was only available on Google.com but Google has now gone and opened it up Internationally.

Apart from opening it up internationally Google also collaborated with some top artists, sculptors and photographers to its users some extra inspiration by giving us a gallery of background images to use as your Google homepage background.

There are some nice images there, but come on Google where is the World Cup background? Luckily you can upload your own pictures as well so what I did was grab The Forge Web Creation’s Bafana Bafana background they released earlier this month.

To upload or change your Google homepage background look for a change background link either just beneath the search box or at the bottom left of the screen.

Come on liven up you Google homepage with some World Cup flavour.

I am just loving all the World Cup spirit at the moment, all the flags on the cars and in the streets and shop, everybody blowing vuvuzelas and even Google adding Street View inside the stadiums.

Cape Tonians can not help but notice the Giant Vuvuzela that is mounted on the famous bridge to nowhere in Town, and rumour has it that it will be blown each time a goal is scored in the World Cup.

So it seems the rumor was true, and in this video they are doing a sound test of the Giant Vuvuzela.

I am so glad I don’t live or work near that bridge
