I think it's interesting, definition-wise. "Statistics" seems to imply that it's high-level information; but real-time implies the opposite to me. You don't have a "fuel level statistics" meter in your car, you have a fuel gauge that you expect to reflect the current fuel level.<p>From the FAQ on the site, they use various intra- and extrapolations based on what their sources tell you, based on your computer's current clock. They suggest setting your time to December 31st, 23:59 to see the total for the yearly values, for instance.<p>I don't think it's "real-time". It's displaying statistical information "smeared" out over the entire year, and updating the current value as time passes several times a second.<p>But if I were to buy a cigarette, or become overweight, you wouldn't see the number change directly to reflect that.
