MegaUpload Alternatives See Surge in Traffic After Shutdown After losing access to their favorite file-hosting service last week, millions of former MegaUpload users have fled to the many alternatives available. Filefactory, Depositfiles and many of the other top cyberlockers have seen an unprecedented surge in traffic in recent days, showing that people haven't stopped sharing even though the authorities have closed one of the main players in the business. With a self-proclaimed 50 million users a day, MegaUpload was one of the largest file-hosting sites on the Internet. Last week the feds shut down the popular site accusing its founder and six others of money-laundering and several copyright related crimes. The site’s former users, meanwhile, are left without their files and forced to find a new place to share.

How to Generate XBRL from Oracle's Applications (Oracle Financials Product Marketing) I've been getting quite a few emails asking how Oracle supports XBRL. As of June 2011, all public US companies were required to produce XBRL-based financial statements to the SEC. The latest XBRL 2.1 specifications are supported by Oracle Hyperion Disclosure Management, which supports the XBRL tagging of financial statements as well as the disclosures and footnotes within your 10K and 10Q filings.

A Day In the Life On The Internet I think all of us spend an unhealthy amount of time on the Internet, but that’s what makes it awesome. A bottle of bourbon and three grande meals from Taco Bell taught us the joys of things that are bad for us years ago. Now that the Internet has taken over, it would be interesting to see just how much time we spend on this wonderful invention of the gods. Worry not, dear reader, as we have all those statistics right here. MBAOnline has created this handy infographic compiling the insane amount of time we spend on the Internet. Report Authority Report Authority In response to the lack of suitable and cost effective technology solutions for incorporating XBRL into the report authoring process, AMOSCA has produced Report Authority.

iXBRL is getting easier According to our latest survey of IT in Accountancy Practices, it is. Six months into the new mandatory Inline XBRL regime for HMRC company tax filings, a large majority of practices reported that they find their new iXBRL-enabled software or processes ‘easy’ (53%), with only 13% finding it ‘difficult’. This is welcome news, and much better than many feared before mandation began on 1 April. But I would still see it only as progress in the right direction, and it should go without saying that we would like to get the 13% who are still finding it difficult down to zero. The transition to the new (or upgraded) software or processes was, for many, not quite so straightforward – not surprisingly, as implementing new systems is rarely a pain-free experience. But even there, it was not as bad as we feared: those who found the transition easy outweighed those who found it difficult, but not by such a convincing margin: 32% to 26%.
