Being based in tokyo...I see that a lot at various starbucks. I don't know where you frequent but I see a ton of people working on laptops in cafes. Granted, there are folks who do the "talk to your friend" thing but I don't see much of a difference between SF and Tokyo in that respect. I usually see this in the more typical local chains like Doutour, Pronto, and even excelsior (despite them usually lacking outlets) as well.
