Accounting Policies [Abstract]

Basis of Accounting, Policy [Policy Text Block]

Basis of Presentation

The consolidated financial statements have been prepared by the Company, without audit, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). The Company prepares its unaudited consolidated financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“GAAP”). These principles require management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments (consisting of only normal recurring adjustments) necessary to present fairly the financial position of the Company as of September 30, 2013 and its statements of operations, comprehensive loss and cash flows for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013.  These unaudited consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes thereto contained in the Company’s 2012 Annual Report filed on Form 10-K with the SEC on March 14, 2013.

Reclassification adjustments for discontinued operations were made to the consolidated balance sheets and statements of operations for the periods presented.

Use of Estimates, Policy [Policy Text Block]

Use of Estimates

The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires the Company’s management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Most significant estimates in the accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements include revenue recognition, the allowance on accounts receivable, valuation of notes receivable, valuation of deferred tax assets, valuation of stock-based employee and non-employee awards, valuation of warrants issued with debt, valuation of assets acquired and liabilities assumed in business combinations, evaluating goodwill, intangible and long-lived assets for impairment, useful lives of intangibles assets and property and equipment, and the measurement and accrual of restructuring costs and contingent liabilities. The Company bases its estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that the Company believes are reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates.
