because this is driving me nuts

Is anyone else seeing these weird google bar graphs in their search results? I know I'm not the absolute only one, because my friend mamster is hitting the same thing, but I'm kinda surprised that we're the only news outlet reporting this so far. Now that we have our stake in the ground on being all leading-edge and scoopy with it, I'd like to see the story turn up elsewhere, just so the news coverage starts smoking out some info on how widespread this is. (Google, of course, isn't commenting. They never do.) I can't even find any blog posts about this, which seems odd.

I know Google tests UIs out often, but this thing is a pretty big display change, and it's persistent -- it's been more than a day and it's still happening on the one browser of mine that's infected by it. I can't disable the change, and I don't like it. Arugh. This is the first time the Google "arrogance" has actively bothered me. If you're going to make a big UI change, explain to me what's happening, please. Put a link somewhere telling me what those bar graphs do (I mean, I can infer, but data please!) and telling me if it's possible to disable the change and revert to Google classic.

This is forcing me to use IE. (The results look normal there, for me.) Ug.
