This clearly illustrates what's wrong with the San Francisco tech culture: it is stuck in the 20th century, and assumes that 'tech' means white or Asian male in their 20's.

Actual cutting edge tech companies order foosball tables.

Maglev air hocky is where it's at.

Their definition of a tech company is obviously not representative. Maybe only when you are 'tech' company that handles online comments, you really need a ping pong table to justify your status.
