Senator John McCain has a great idea - offer a 300-million-dollar prize to the person who can develop an automobile battery that leapfrogs existing technology. The prize would equate to $1 for every man, woman and child in the United States. McCain calls that "a small price to pay for helping to break the back of our oil dependency."

**Race still overrated**The latest ABC News poll shows that race is not going to affect the election. Even though the poll shows 3 in 10 voters admit to having some feelings of prejudice, most white voters say race will not be the deciding factor in how they vote in November.

**Where's your IT guy been?**One in three information technology professionals abuses administrative passwords to access confidential data such as colleagues' salary details, personal emails or board-meeting minutes, according to a new survey.

"All you need is access to the right passwords or privileged accounts and you're privy to everything that's going on within your company," Mark Fullbrook, Cyber-Ark's UK director, said in a statement released along with the survey results.
