Google.com redirecting to Google.co.jp (or other languages)

I just logged into to Google Analytics this morning and saw a new feature they have released as beta that allows you to group the points on the graph by Day, Week and Month. In the past it has always put one point for each day, no matter how long you set the date range to be. This is really useful if you want to see how much your visits have improved each month for 6 / 12 / 24 months.
