Undismissible popup in Google Reader

When I opened up Google Reader this morning, I was greeted with this friendly, yet annoyingly undismissible popup. My only two options are to “Learn more” or to edit my friends list. I don’t want to do either of those right now, I just want to read my feeds!

Clicking outside the popup balloon doesn’t do anything. I can even click on one of the new posts and read it, but the balloon does not disappear.

It seems like they tried to make a non-invasive announcement of a new feature, but forgot to add a “Close” button.
