Verizon walks you through the (fairly involved, for a newbie) process of manually changing your DNS settings. They maintain one set of DNS addresses that do hijacking, and one set (the xx.xx.xx.14 addresses) that do not.hijack. It's a one time thing, and it's under your control.

Dr. Frederick Frankenstein: [to Igor] Now that brain that you gave me. Was it Hans Delbruck's?

Igor: Abby Normal.
Dr. Frederick Frankenstein: [pause, then] Abby Normal?

Google is going to follow the model used by Mac OS X - ship your own next generation windowing system, then follow up with a rootless X window manager for compatibility with all the apps that are out there.

Why are they pissing off a significant percentage of my target audience?
