Boiling an ocean refers to the small size of the team behind pip.io building tools whose functionality overlaps with Facebook, Twitter, BaseCamp, iTunes, Instant Messaging, Email, etc.
Heh, it may be that I'm running on little sleep, but I initially read the headline literally, and got excited about a sweet publicity stunt :)
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.

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
