    CNN Money &bull Dec 9, 2011

    The financial industry is besieged by protestors. It's also facing a slow-growth world and a wave of new regulation. In order to flourish again, the big firms must first change in painful ways. FORTUNE -- The brighter side of financial cataclysm wasn't easy to see in late 2008 -- the crisis was at its most acute, and no one knew if Armageddon lay ahead -- but Barney Frank was upbeat.

  7. Google is boring. That's a problem? - The Buzz

    CNN Money &bull Oct 12, 2011

    Google (GOOG, Fortune 500) isn't irritating its core customers with an enormous price hike and New Coke-esque branding debacle like Netflix (NFLX). It isn't firing CEOs and searching for its identity like Yahoo (YHOO, Fortune 500). Or Hewlett-Packard (HPQ, Fortune 500). It isn't stubbornly clinging to a product that's rapidly losing market share like Research in Motion (RIMM). If you want to be critical of Google, you could say that Google circa 2011 isn't posting the boffo type earnings and sales growth numbers that… Full Story »

    CNN Money &bull Oct 5, 2011

    FORTUNE -- Where is the female Mark Zuckerberg? I've heard this question a lot. Typically, a fair amount of hand-wringing comes with trying to answer it.
