Google is designing a new operating system (also at Github) based on its own new kernel (Magenta), which may be intended to unify/replace Android and ChromeOS. It is also expected to run on a wide range of ARM and x64 devices, such as Chromecast, Raspberry Pi 3, smartphones, laptops, and desktops.

Thanks, I'll have to check this out. I've never noticed before. What names were being looked up? My guess would be that this would be something related to being logged into a Google account rather than being in raw Android, but I could be wrong. Still wrong ignoring DNS settings in pretty much all cases regardless.
