The Hello Barbie doll is billed as the world’s first “interactive doll” capable of listening to a child and responding via voice, in a similar way to Apple’s Siri, Google’s Now and Microsoft’s Cortana.

Online misses £80m revenue target
Mail Online has missed its target of making £80m in revenue this year as annual digital advertising growth slowed by more than half and profits at the Mail’s combined print and digital operation rose by 12%. Mail Online reported £73m in revenues for the year to the end of September, reporting an annual underlying growth rate of 16%, down on the 41% reported in parent company Daily Mail & General Trust’s full year results last year. The performance of Mail Online helped reduce the overall decline across the Mail businesses to 4% or £572m in revenue. Annual profits across the Mail businesses grew by 12% year on year to £79m.
