So let me see if I understand correctly, if you download and install malware on your Android device, you'll get hacked, just where is the technology angle?
Wouldn't it be faster and more reliable for Netflix, Twitter, Pfizer and CNBC to run their own local DNS caching servers.That way when the upstream server becomes unavailable, they'll still have something to fall back on.

@Anonymous TROLL: "My friend says that FreeBSD stole the TCP/IP stack from DOS
No your friend is wrong, DOS didn't have TCP/IP stack and neither did Windows 3.11, that was provided by Trumpet Winsock. The native Winsock later on provided with Windows 95 was bought-in from Microdyne. And finally Winsock was copied from BSD sockets, not the other way round.
