Interesting that all of these except for one are consumer companies and
startups.  To me it seems like more of just a list of starups with consumer
buzz than top tech companies.  And why are only pre-ipo companies considered? 
What about Intel?  VMware?  Microsoft?  Apple?  Oracle?  Google?  Samsung?  Am I
really to believe that fab.com or ZocDoc is a bigger tech company for 2012
than some of the companies I mentioned?

"The list is based on exits, valuations by A+++ investors and rapid growth." 

So, yes, it appears their definition of "Tech Companies" is skewed towards web
startups.

Best performing IPO of the year: Guidewire Software. 

But why would anyone at Forbes have heard of them?

Shouldn't it be renamed to top ten web based companies?
