Google's next step in world domination

Introducing the Google Public DNS

I know there was already OpenDNS out before this, but I didn't like their search engine for bad URLs lol. They have some wacky IP addresses for the servers too, 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4

gonna give this a try since I've always been a big google fan

They've also released googleIME which is (vastly better) counterpart to MicrosoftIME

I started using this yesterday when it was announced. Some benchmarks show that OpenDNS still has a slight edge, but for international users, it seems to be a significant improvement.

I feel a slight improvement in speed, but I never used OpenDNS before.

Here's a good DNS benchmarking program, from Google.
