Tarinth writes "Google just announced its new Google DNS platform. Many have viewed this as a move to increase ad revenue, or maybe capture more data. This article explores those questions, as well as the actual benchmarking results for Google DNS — showing that it is faster than many, but not nearly as fast as many others." We also recently discussed security implications of the Google Public DNS.
This just in, Google is average at something they did. Google's parents are very upset and will not be posting this on their refrigerator. In other news, detractors of Google throw party.
Google has the best uptime and the most distributed architecture of any single computer system, unless you consider the internet to be a single entity; it has slightly better reach overall.
No it fucking doesn't you fucking moron.

If, for example, the telephone company's accounting system goes down for a few seconds then they lose hundreds of thousands of dollars.
There are 31,556,926 seconds in a year. At a hundred thousand dollars a second, your telephone company makes $3,155,692,600,000 a year from time-metered services?
