OAKLAND, Calif.--It's not hard to find monuments to technology in the Bay Area. Down in the valley, Google, Apple, and Facebook have each built their own cathedral-monastery, architectural showpieces that bound over the landscape. In the city itself, the Internet Archive is housed in an old church of Christian Science, its door gated by a marble Corinthian portico. And further downtown, where the land meets the bay, new obelisks even now are rising. Plenty of places will let you salute Fair Software and Tender-Hearted Hardware.
