Goodwill and Intangible Assets Disclosure [Abstract]

Goodwill

The following table presents goodwill balances and adjustments to those balances for each of our reportable segments and corporate investments during the six months ended June 30, 2014:

(1)	The above table presents recasted annual segment activity to reflect the move of our Magento platform into our Enterprise segment. Prior to this change, Magento was reported in corporate and other.

The adjustments to goodwill during the six months ended June 30, 2014 were due primarily to foreign currency translation, a post-closing adjustment related to our acquisition of Braintree which closed December 19, 2013 and a change in our reportable segments. Refer to "Note 4 - Segments" for further discussion on the change in our reportable segments.
