Which version? What operating system? What plugins have you? I see several plugins in the screenshot - are you sure it isn't one of those plugins?

With what is known at the moment, I would not believe Google is doing this.

It is really an ad, no plugin or other trick. I also noticed this two days ago, I have a screenshot with it on my blog (link is on my profile, not posting it here). After a while the ad seems to be disappearing for good.

I've gotten it too, and complained about it here on HN. I'm only running AdBlock and I doubt they're advertising.
