Build quality At first it felt cheap and plasticy compared to my Nexus 4. Now it feels right and the Nexus 4 feels heavy and the glass feels like it could shatter at any moment. And before you ask, no I did not get to customize the colors of my Moto X, I purchased the developer edition which is only available in black and white. Which is fine, I'd rather have that than a locked colorful version. Screen The screen is fantastic. Watching a video on it makes the phone melt away and leave only the media. Touchless controls The idea behind touchless controls is pretty cool, but in practical application, touchless controls are useless to me. This is 100% because of my security paranoia though. I have PIN on every mobile device I own and I trend towards the security side of the spectrum instead of the convenience end. Having to manually enter a PIN for every voice request completely removes the less from "touchless". My two hours of using the Moto X before conf...

One of the better eggnogs I've tasted this holiday season. It's nice and thick with no artificial flavor. It doesn't have much in the way of nutmeg flavor however. Buy it and add your own nutmeg.

The eggnog starts out rich and creamy as a good nog should. After a few moments of waiting for the pumpkin to kick in you find it is sorely lacking. You might as well just whip it and put it on top of pumpkin pie. It's OK. Buy if there is nothing better around.

Going into this testing I had very low expectations as I've never considered Hood products to be of all that high a quality. I was pleasantly surprised to find this actually has a decent pumpkin flavor. The eggnog was thinner than I prefer and had a little bit of an artificial after flavor but add a little nutmeg and clove spice and you have a decent pumpkin eggnog. It's OK and will do in a pinch.

Note: This is an old draft what was never completed. Native screenshots! On the downside screenshots don't appear to automatically upload to Google+. People don't get merged. Take these two examples of searching for my sister and my boss by name. Each search shows each person six times. In the web version of Google Contacts there is only one entry for each so the extra entries appear to be from apps such as Twitter, and LinkedIn. The screen is simply gorgeous! Battery life initially is pretty terrible. The menu button jumps around a lot. Sometimes it is in the top right. sometimes the bottom right. Panoramas are awesome. Can't take a photo from the lock screen when using a pin. Love the built in encryption! Still lags some but much better then my Nexus S 4G.

A number of people recommended that I try Trader Joe's Eggnog so I must admit, I had high expectations when I finally did. Luckily it is a good nog besides being light on the nutmeg. It is nice and thick with a good flavor that doesn't taste artificial. I could barley taste any nutmeg so I recommend adding some (you do have nutmeg on hand right?) before consuming. Above average. Recommendation: buy with nutmeg.

Provides a delicious rich and creamy flavor but it is more of a vanilla cream flavor and less of an eggnog flavor. It is very enjoyable but don't expect the traditional eggy taste. Different but good. Recommendation: buy.

Oakhurst delivers a delightfully rich and creamy nog. While it could do with an extra pinch of nutmeg at times Oakhurst has wonderful flavor that is top notch. Among the best. Recommendation: buy

Nice thick eggnog but it leaves a slight artificial flavor and could use a little more nutmeg. Better then average. Recommendation: buy.

An average eggnog that gets the job done but just barely. If other better options are available go with them. It is a little too sweet and doesn't have the rich creamy thickness it should. While it doesn't have a fake chemical taste, Clover isn't exactly bursting in any flavor and will certainly need lots of added nutmeg. Average. Works in a pinch.

Rich and creamy. Not quite enough nutmeg. Don't try the vanilla flavor. Better then average. Recommendation: Buy.

Not enough nutmeg. Cheap sweetener flavor. Terrible. Recommendation: Don't buy.

Good amount of nutmeg. Flavor is a little weak. Better then average. Recommendation: Buy. Eggnog review: Organic Valley Eggnog , originally uploaded by 4braham .
