approximate pacific ocean volume = 7.24176e24 cm^3
median ocean water density = 1.028 g/cm^3
temperature difference = 1 deg C
specific heat of water = 4186 J/(g·K)
multiply all together should = energy required to heat the ocean by 1 deg C is 3.12e+28 J
Maybe one day! Haha
Looks to me, pipio is a replacement to almost every social site out there (facebook, friendfeed, twitter mashups, likaholix, etc...) and thus is "boiling an ocean" in terms of startup goals.
Man I do wish they'd do that publicity stunt tho and _actually_ try to boil an ocean :) Maybe one day.
