What should the sidebar look like? Do you have a screenshot?

All,

I have a theory (at this point) that Google has used profile analytics (not a bad thing per se.) to drive the rollout of their new Knowledge Graph service. I've dropped a post on G+ with links to a Google Drive folder with screenshots that feed my current theory about profile driven rollout. Basically, you have two users (distinct profiles) issuing the same query, with different results.

I am interested in finding out how many of you actually see the new Knowledge Graph sidebar.

Links:
