Microsoft announced that they are lowering the prices on several consumer editions of Windows Vista. FiringSquad reports that Vista Home Premium’s price will now be $129, down from $159, and the Vista Ultimate Edition will drop from $299 to $219.

Microsoft’s press release implies that Vista sales have been strong through the sale of new PCs, but less than stellar when it comes to individual consumer purchases. They hope this price drop will encourage more XP users to upgrade.

Expect retailers to update their prices in the weeks before Microsoft releases the Vista Service Pack 1 in mid-March.

The first trailer for the computer game Battlefield Heroes is now online. If you haven’t heard of it, Heroes is a First Person Shooter that’s a massive departure from the series thanks to its cartoonish art style. Oh yeah, it’s free too.

Electronic Arts hopes these changes will open the hardcore series up to the masses, and with the free price tag and supposedly low system requirements there’s no excuse not to check this one out. Battlefield Heroes will be released in the Summer of 2008 for the PC.

If you have ever heard Ciara’s Like A Boy, Britney’s Gimmie More, or almost any song by Timbaland’s Record Label Mosely Group, chances are you have heard the work of any member from The Clutch.

The Clutch is a collaborative group of songwriters/music producers that feature Keri Hilson, Candice Nelson, J.Que, Ezekiel Lewis, and Balewa Muhammad. While looking at their track record you can see the influence they have gained through writing hit song after hit song for almost any artist and any genre out there.

From Pop to R&B nothing is impossible for this group. In an interview with MTV, Keri Hilson (A Well Noted Member) said; “The Clutch is a new thing, it’s still a baby,” she said. “We are responsible for some major hits: ‘Ice Box,’ ‘Take Me as I Am,’ ‘The Way I Are,’ so many. ‘Anonymous’ by Bobby Valentino, a whole bunch of new artists. Beyoncé … the Clutch is everywhere. Co-writing makes it a lot faster, and you’re more open to other ideas. It opens you up creatively. Everyone brings more color to a certain situation, to a certain song, [which] makes it a lot easier. Sometimes we take it section by section or line by line — it’s fun either way. Work is play for us.”

Any person thinking about songwriting should look at their work; so make sure you look twice at the album credits for any one of the members. It is stated that when more than two members work on the song they are credited as The Clutch
