FUD much? have you read the public-dns ToS and privacy statements?
if you haven't you might want to:

you might also want to read:
<http://googleonlinesecurity.blogspot.com/2013/03/google-public-dns-now-supports-dnssec.html>
and for some (quite a few) users of 8.8.8.8 it's faster and closer
than their ISP dns... which says something about the ISP provided DNS
server(s) I suppose :( It's certainly not the answer for everyone, or
everything, but shrugging it off for FUD reasons is just silly and
makes little sense.
