You're missing the fact that he doesn't need a new MacBook Pro. It's a luxury item. If Chromebooks are perfectly functional for school use cases, clearly a new MBP is entirely unnecessary. If he wants OS X and a retina screen, the baseline MB 12 is more suitable for his needs. Or he could get an older, used MBP.

Why are all of the example photos so horribly downsized and compressed? The picture of the Eiffel Tower is only 920 × 690. That's laughable compared to the 12.3 megapixels it should be. If you're reviewing image quality, you should give the readers the original files captured by the camera.

There's no way readers can say anything definitive about Pixel's camera quality without real data.

Unfortunately, https://prism-break.org/ was registered before Snowden's revelations about Tempora. I'm working on adjusting the site's wording to apply equally to all governmental surveillance.

> What components of DDG are partly proprietary and which are not? (not a criticism of DDG just this page) What is a "free search engine" anyway?

These parts are open source: https://github.com/duckduckgo. I've added this note to PRISM Break. A free search engine would be a search engine where users have the freedom to run, copy, distribute, study, change and improve the software. YaCy fits this description, but there are currently not a lot of people using YaCy at the moment.

> Why is chromium not listed as a free alternative to Chrome/IE/Safari?

Chromium will be added once I get a list of good Chromium extensions that rival the Firefox addons.

> Why are Firefox and Thunderbird listed alongside Iceweasel and Icedove?

Iceweasel and Icedove are difficult to install on Windows and OS X. If users are unable to switch to Linux, Firefox and Thunderbird are still really good options.

> How do you list OpenNIC if they have not adopted an official privacy/anonymization policy?

Good point. OpenNIC will be removed for the time being.

>Speaking of official privacy policies; I see that you tried to load /analytics/piwik.js. Where is the privacy policy for prism-break?

PRISM Break does not track the last 2 bytes of your IP - e.g. 192.168.xxx.xxx. A Privacy Policy is on the todo list.

EDIT: https://prism-break.org/privacy.html

I've added a note about Mint's search engine policy, thanks.

Also, BSDs will get greater emphasis in future updates. I'm working on a way to promote more operating systems without the page getting even more overwhelming than it already is.
