We almost missed this is the Great Post-WWDC Coma — Apple had this installation on display that displays activity among the most popular 20,000 applications in the App Store by lighting up that app's icon when purchased. It's not quite real time, there's a slight delay, but for lovers of infoviz this is a pretty cool one. Video embedded after the post break.
