Evan Williams' San Francisco house

Twitter co-founder Evan Williams and his wife want to demolish a house some history buffs are saying is of historical significance to make way for a new home.

Take a look inside the house, perched on a hill just south of San Francisco's famous Golden Gate Park.

I Got an Early Look at Intel's Glass Packaging Tech for Faster Chips

Rahul Manepalli, right, Intel's module engineering leader, shows a glass substrate panel before it's sliced into the small rectangles that will be bonded to the undersides of hundreds of test processors. The technology, shown here at Intel's CH8 facility in Chandler, Arizona, stands to improve performance and power consumption of advanced processors arriving later this decade. Glass substrates should permit physically larger processors comprised of several small "chiplets" for AI and data center work, but Intel expects they'll trickle down to PCs, too.
