Measuring employee diversity in terms of gender and ethnicity, Facebook’s results appear typical of American technology companies today. Globally, males dominate at 69 percent of employees overall, and in the US, white males dominate at 57 percent, followed by 34 percent Asians. No other ethnic group came close.

Google only just released its Android Wear SDK to developers today at I/O, but companies like PayPal, Soundwave, Pinterest, Eat24, Lyft and Allthecooks have already announced their first experiences for Android Wear. Android Wear apps aren’t quite full-blown apps, but Google’s new SDK allows code to run directly on the wearable device, opening up custom interfaces, sensor control, data transfer and other experiences beyond simple notifications.
