    Given the Snowden revelations, what an unfortunate choice of names.

        Marketing is marketing. They know jack.

        I’m just amazed they didn’t name it “Panspermia”.

        I’m more apt to believe that the government asked Microsoft to name it that to get SEO for Snowden messed up.

      I thought the name is pretty fun.

      Prism refract boring white light into its colorful component. This process is kind of like spliting a single x86 instruction into several arm instructions. In the meantime also conveys the message that arm is “cooler”, because colored light out of a prism is prettier than the input white light.
