Question of the Week suggestions
Each week we ask a question. The idea is to generate material that's:
* interesting to read, i.e. we won't get bored of reading the answers after about 10 of them
* not been asked on this site before
* fun to answer
What would you like to ask? (We've left this question open - so feel free to drop in ideas anytime.)

What's in the YouTube database?
Google is required to hand over to Viacom the entire database (all 12 Terabytes of it) of every video ever watched on YouTube by anybody. Ever.
The judge who approved this fishing expedition is under the impression that userids are anonymous.
Imagine all the amusing/incriminating links between videos and userids that give away the identity of the YouTube victim/user.
Example:
User stevejobs has watched the video titled "Steve Ballmer's Monkey Dance" 9217 times.
What videos are the favourites of such userids as dubyah, maxF1, amyNONONOrehab etc etc...?
