The fact that random peoples' posts on Google+ show up as 'google.com' here and elsewhere is not good for Google's ownership of its messaging. On the other hand, their use of the blogspot.com domain for official news suggests they don't care, but on the other other hand, what is 'googleusercontent.com' if not a separation of what's Google's from what's everyone elses?
This got me thinking that gplus.com would be a good domain to put all the G+ content. Unfortunately it's taken, and is used for a community site: https://www.gplus.com/About-Us
I sense a lawsuit in G+'s future
This is more a bug in Hacker News than a bug for google. HN should definitely be displaying subdomains, at least for google properties. They have so much under that umbrella it doesn't help me ever to see that a post is from google.com.

The other, other hand? I believe the phrase you are hunting for is "on the gripping hand" :-)
