As other's have pointed out, it's real heartwarming how the so-called journalist has written a long advertisement for a company without doing a bit of research into things that might be wrong with it. This has been discussed all over the web many times.
Speed. There's no reason to be proud of beating the average isp's dns server. You want speed? Run bind on your own home server. It's not like there's any innovation here, they're just doing decently what most isps seem to really suck at.
Spelling correction and phishing guarding. Sorry, this is a very bad thing to be doing via dns. Far, far better to do it via the browser (many already correct spelling mistakes) where it can be more carefully controlled. Nevermind the raft of other non-web applications that should not be corrected. Dns should never have fuzzy results, based on someone's best effort to fix a problem. If you screw up (give the wrong domain name) fix it, don't continue in ignorance of your mistake.
