It's true. And others on the top ten are almost-tech companies:

Exxon Johnson & Johnson General Electric AT&T

Exxon has a really large research arm, so do Johnson and Johnson. Maybe not tech as this forum traditionally thinks about it, but I'd consider it tech.

GE and AT&T have great research arms, as well, and they are much more tech: focused a lot on communications, storage, and hardware.
