Nice starting point for CNC software

CEO of Xerox, this is why she should not interview
Its a 2 minute clip, she had a question from the audience and basically did a horrible job answering it. Maybe this is why she only does “canned” interviews. http://money.cnn.com/video/technology/2013/10/18/f-mpw-ursula-burns-twitter.fortune/index.html?iid=G_Taboola
