Google's own Public DNS

First of all, google's DNS IPs are CRAZILY short.

Secondly, if you use it then you're just placing even more of your crap in their hands. Eventually you'll have all your fingers in one pie rather than many, which isn't a good thing.
 
First of all, google's DNS IPs are CRAZILY short.

This has to tie in with what class IP sector they have.
Class A - 0.0.0.0 to 126.255.255.254
Class B - 128.1.0.0 to 191.255.255.254
Class C - 192.0.1.1 to 223.255.255.254
Class D - 224.0.0.0 to 239.255.255.255 (reserved for multicast groups)
Class E - 240.0.0.0 to 254.255.255.254 (reserved for research/future use)

The whole 127.x.x.x are reserved for loopbacks.

With a class A IP...they give you the first number Example: 13. Any numbers after that, you are allowed to assign to your network and use it online with the right tools. So, if I had warez-bb, katz, wjunction, and google on the same network and owned the 13.x.x.x range. I could make google 13.55.13.64. Then I could make Warez-BB something like 13.0.0.0. I could make Katz 13.37.0.0 and I could make WJunction 13.255.255.255 if I wanted to.

With a class B IP...you are given the first 2 numbers. So like "148.91.x.x". You are able to assign the last 2.

With a class C IP...you are given the first 3 numbers. So like 220.143.6.x. You are able to assign only the last number on the network.

ISPs have a few class A IPs as well as other IP types. A lot of datacenters have a B and C if they assign their own IPs because the ISP gives them the IP and they have it there. Hosts also have class A but that's because their ISP assigns the IP address...or they bought out the whole range.

Apparently, Google has it's own class A IP set..maybe more than one.
 
I seriously think google is getting a little bit personal, google already logs everything that I search (Which probably has me listed as a suspected terrorist already), but now that they can see EVERYTHING I do is just ridiculous, if I was that concerned about getting to a site faster I would just setup my own DNS server.
