Bird flu virus found surviving in certain cheeses

A dangerous type of bird flu virus (called H5N1) continues to circulate among dairy cows in the US. The virus targets the mammary gland's milk-secreting epithelial cells, causing painful infections in the udder. It also leads to large amounts of virus being released into the milk. This infected milk can expose other cows, pets, wild animals, and possibly humans to the virus, a potential threat beyond just the farm.

Casio nano-sizes the rugged G-Shock into full-functioning finger watch

A finger is among the least practical places possible to strap a watch, and even watches themselves have become a fairly impractical redundancy in the smartphone age. And yet, we want the new Casio G-Shock Nano anyway. A lot. Following up on the 50th anniversary edition ring watch Casio introduced last year, the new Nano adds a beefier build with 200-m (660-ft) water resistance, shock resistance and a working miniaturized strap. This one is truly a G-Shock shrunken down to ring finger size.

Review: The camera you hope you'll never need – Nexus 5S dashcam

It was 502 miles door to door, and I could do it in about 7.5 hours. Let me tell you, a lot of wild stuff happens on I-80 across the great barren expanses of Nevada in the middle of the night.
