I can no longer use Google's AJAX CDN. Not because of the quality - compared to Microsoft's CDN, you have smaller file sizes and better response time - it's simply because of the domain name.
I recently had an issue with a few companies' corporate firewalls blocking googleapis.com, which disabled jQuery in my site. These are large companies where everything is blocked unless they specifically allow it. They didn't know about googleapis.com, so it wasn't allowed. If the URL had been something like ajaxapis.google.com, it would not have been an issue, because the companies in question did allow *.google.com. They also allow *.microsoft.com, so I'll reluctantly be turning to the dark side for my AJAX CDN.
