While many of these projects have nothing to do with technology, they illustrate a point: PRISM was a great name for a project. The fact that Facebook has a "Project Prism" too is just coincidence.

  Agreed, I can't think of any tech company naming a project PRISM again, even if it's internal.

    Oh I totally will. Back in the PPro days I called the project to get the workstations cointelpro - and I was just a snippy highschool kid then. I'm totally going to do this.

Also, I doubt that the NSA told Facebook that their surveillance project was called PRISM.

Palantir is the one that still sticks out the most though. They work for the CIA and their Prism technology is essentially the same as the one in the slides 'combining databases from different sources.' I know they've denied it and Peter Thiel would never do that and all but thats still one heck of a coincidence.
