THE selfie obsession has taken flight and has proven to be an advanced step up from the selfie stick, giving superior images on your iPhone. The $599 Dobby device connects to a smartphone using its own Wi-Fi network indoors and outdoors. It has face-and-object tracking and orbiting features.

Users download an app to turn their phone into a remote control, and can fly the drone for up to nine minutes between battery recharges.

Trish Ropiha, a social media manager for various businesses and the Chapel St Precinct Association, tested the drone and said its functions were “a lot of fun”. “You can get still shots that you can’t do yourself or with a selfie stick. There’s been a huge rise in blog Instagrams and people are always looking for ways to give them an edge,” Ms Ropiha, 25, said.

A new on-demand temp agency says its technology slashes costs by 30 per cent and gives workers better conditions.

Workfast launches nation­wide this week, and uses on-­demand technology to connect workers with workplaces and vice-versa, filling the temporary staffing needs of workplaces that often struggle to find good staff quickly.

“Whereas a traditional temp agency might hire out a worker at $50 per hour and add a management fee, Workfast would hire out the same employee for an all-­inclusive hourly rate of $35 and not charge an additional management fee. That’s a saving of 30 per cent right there,” Mr Nieuwenhuis said.

Lorraine Elliot, from Not Quite Nigella, sat down with the the world's number one chef to talk about his his Refettorio Ambrosiano project, and the new Theater Of Life documentary, hitting cinemas on November 14th.

Within eight months it was completed. Massimo describes it, "The place is one of the most beautiful places in Milan with full of art, of incredibly unique tables as the “fratini”.

Massimo is clear that it is more than just food or charity, "You know, in my idea, that’s why I say there was not a charity project...In my idea, the most important was the culture project. That means we need a chef like that so lot of spotlight on us. To move the spotlights from us to the people around us.
