I could swear I got logged in to Schemer via my Gmail (i.e. OAuth) just now without me doing anything but visiting the link for this post. Am I missing something here? That doesn't feel right.

It's a Google service, so it seems reasonable that it should have access to your Google login.

A refreshing design coming from Google. So Google has two group of sites, one is like Schemer, YouTube, Blogger that has its own domain and no black menu bar. The other groups are GMail, Reader etc which is subdomain of Google and has a prominent black menu bar. Wonder how Google split their products.

Schemer? That's a horrid name! What is up with google that they can't see what a terrible name it is? Does anyone want to hang out with ANYONE who is "scheming"? Google's own search for that word gives this definition: "Given to or involved in making secret and underhanded plans." And really, in this day and age that makes half of us wonder if we'd get on some eff'n homeland security watchlist on signup.
