Why doesn't the kitten example in the Chrome extension development tutorial load any images?

In the Getting Started page, we're promised kittenish goodness from Flickr. Putting the extension together according to the instructions, no kittenish goodness materializes. Instead, the popup window shows a small blank rectangular bar, devoid of anything fuzzy or cute.

Why?

(I'm asking this question with the intent to answer it, because I couldn't find any other way to report the mistake.)

As on 18-Jun-2014, the fix mentioned by Emerson seems to be taken care of in the sample downloads.

If you are still not able to see the images in the popup, you should consider applying for a Flickr API Key

And replace the existing key with the key that you generated in line number 25 of poupup.js file.
