I really hope it was tongue in cheek quote out of context.

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.

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.
