While I fully understand the fears of those who worry about Google's growing reach, I love google for adding in an easy to remember public DNS resolver that is optimized for speed and reliability. This wouldn't have been a big deal with the ISPs I had in Maine, but AT&T has some odd and annoying hiccups with theirs in my area now. I'll be browsing along, listening to an internet radio station and randomly lose the ability to resolve addresses for a minute or so. The music never stops, any internet aware games I happen to be playing are fine, and I can even browse to sites I know the IP addresses of (which happens to be two, for testing purposes) so going with a different DNS service should resolve this.
