The code example shows 600000 ms. After the example code it says the 600000 ms is 60 minutes.

600000 ms = 600 seconds

600 seconds = 10 minutes

In the listing for example 4.2 there is an additional hyphen at the end of "html { height: 100% } ?", which causes the site not to be shown correctly in my browser.

Also,
1. Please provide the source code for the examples

2. Please check the function ".everyTime()" as I got an error in Google chrome: Object [object Object] has no method 'everyTime'

3. Please mention beforehand that the Tweeter example from pages 88-92 may not work if the tweets in the area don't carry associated geolocation info with them. Such a situation is actually displayed [but not explained] in the listing from page 93, where all "geo" properties in the JSON are null.
