Everyone buzzes about YouTube's crazy $2 billion valuations and founder Chad Hurley hanging out with moguls, but has anyone really looked at the company's day-to-day lifestyle?

• There's vodka on the desks. (Granted, it's Grey Goose, so we're not talking total squalor.)
• Boxes strewn about the floor.
