Hey there, thanks for commenting.

In the article I mention that I ask the designers for permission to test their logos before moving forward. I let them know that they're in my top 5 choices and tell them exactly what I'm going to do. Since they're the copyright holder, I want to say this makes it alright, but I can see where 99Designs doesn't like it...

Why is it unethical?
Yea, that was the response on /r/Entrepreneur as well :-\

Love the Gamerholic idea, but there are some legal issues that sites with similar business models run into when attempting to scale.

Also - you have way too many projects going on at once. You'll probably hate me saying that, but it is true, and I know it is true because I have had to force myself not to work on more than 1 company at a time :)

Re:The road ahead: How we’ll get to 54.5 mpg by 2025 on Monday October 08, 2012 @01:26PM (#4627860)
There are already many vehicles that will do far over 55mpg on a "fossil fuel" powered engine. Unfortunately, higher mpg = higher carbon emissions. As long as the Govt and Oil industries control environmental regulations, they can easily control maximum mpg by regulating how much emission can come from the engine (and thus, how efficiently the engine can burn gas).

Simple logic, theyre just hoping everybody keeps buying the environmentalism sales tactic so they can continue to force us to buy electric cars or low mpg cars. You are either buying their lithium, or overpaying for their gas...
