Comment (by frank13):

 Thanks @boonebgorges.

 I just ran a unix date command from the shell command line:
 '''Tue Jul 10 09:39:08 EDT 2012'''

 I ran a PHP date() script in the browser as close to same time I executed
 unix command as possible:
 '''July 10, 2012 at 9:39:09 AM'''

 Being off by only 1 second, I have to believe the system clock and PHP
 clock are in sync.

 When you say dig deeper, I did look at the BP code and noticed that ''if''
 the elapsed time calculation is illogical (meaning a negative) then BP
 displays "active sometime ago". I am tracking a user session now to see
 when the calculation actually begins to track properly. I believe it
 starts tracking properly once a member is inactive for 1 hour or more, but
 I'll have to wait awhile to confirm that assumption.
