On the Apple homepage is really cool to watch. Kind of puts the rate of buying into perspective.

Is that really realtime, or is it an approximation?

Sounds like a reasonable mix of facts and guesses.

It looks like it.
When I took the calculation it zeroed in at 4PM (Honolulu-PST) on Wednesday July 20.
But it probably won't be close to that hour. It's a better bet that it will be on that day than on that hour.

That sucks. I take some solace in the fact that someone won by buying "Don't Dream It's Over."

I guess it's one of those "life imitating art" things... or something.

The alter ego of Quick Draw McGraw:
El Kabong is on the left. He defeats the bad guys by hitting them over the head with a guitar.

Wow, I was approx. 1 minute early. I didn't realize the counter on Apple's web site was delayed about 5 minutes.
I didn't know how long it would take for the purchase to go through so I made my first purchase early. That was the one that came the closest. The other 2 near the 500,000,000 mark were 5 minutes late.
