Redfoo also says the very busy Eddie Murphy could use a hologram so he can 'party all the time.'

A month ago none of us really had hologram dreams. But ever since Tupac was digitally resurrected at the Coachella Music Festival a few weeks ago, suddenly everyone has a secret roster of artists they would like to see pixelated. The Jackson brothers have said they would love to tour with a digi-Michael, there was that story about Justin Bieber possibly performing with a holo-Elvis and TLC have been sparking rumors that they will bring back deceased member Left Eye for a massive reunion tour this year.
And when we asked music fans in New York's Times Square who they would like to see on stage again, their answers ranged from the Notorious B.I.G. and Nate Dogg to Whitney Houston, Amy Winehouse and John Lennon. But it was LMFAO's Redfoo who had the most eclectic and wide-ranging roster of holograms he'd like to party rock next to.
"I wanna bring Michael Jackson, Charlie Chaplin, Darth Vader, Eddie Murphy," he said, noting that the latter comedian isn't even dead, but is just so busy with movies he could use some holographic help.
"So let's just get a hologram," he suggested to Murphy. "Do your thing over there, but just give us a hologram so we can party all the time, party all the time, party all the tiiiimeee!"

If you read the Red Hat website, you'll find pages describing their attitude toward open source, collaboration, and more. It reads pretty much like every other marketing spiel from every company online today. There's something different about Red Hat, though: they actually believe this stuff. Not only do they believe it, they live it every day. I spoke to Red Hat CEO Jim Whitehurst recently about the open source culture at Red Hat and he told me it is a journey, not a destination. According to Whitehurst, the tenets of open source permeate all aspects of the culture at Red Hat.
Corner any up-and-coming Kevin Systrom wanna-be and have a heart-to-heart about the challenges of building a successful company and at some point you'll likely wander into the territory of bemoaning how tough it is to hire people with technical skills. At a party recently a startup founder told me "If you could find me five great engineers in the next 90 days I'd pay you $400,000." Which is crazy talk.
