I wish they'd serve everything from subdomains in google.com. I mean, seriously, why does Google keep registering new domains for projects (google<something>.com) when they could easily use <something>.google.com instead? What's wrong with fonts.google.com?

My guess is they don't want to send all the cookies stored on the google.com domain whenever someone loads a font.

  Seems reasonable. It protects users too because they can't track the cookies across these domains even if they wanted to.

  Yahoo does this as well for the same cookie reason. Lots of stuff is hosted on yahoo.net that's considered potentially unsafe.
