Unless you have been sleeping under a rather large rock for the past few days chances are the word "prism" has entered into your every day vernacular. PRISM is a joint government task force dedicated to mining the data of the world's largest tech firms in order to gather intelligence would-be terrorists and foreign spies. The scope of the project appears to be much larger and includes the activities of millions of Americans internet activity and usage history. This is the most perfunctory explanation of the massive program that has probably ever been given. More information is coming out every hour, all of it bad for the Obama administration and supposed defenders of civil liberties everywhere. News of the nine major tech industries including, Google, Apple, and Facebook's involvement sent the Twitter-verse into an all out frenzy. In response several Twitter accounts were created and snarkiness from Tech blogs was at maximum output. If we can't stop them from spying on us, at least we can let them know we are laughing at them.
