Hello and welcome to Connected episode 472.

It's made possible this week by our sponsors, Electric, Clean My MacX, and NetSuite.

My name is Stephen Hackett, and I have the pleasure being joined by Mr. Federico Vatici.

Hello, Stephen. How are you? I'm good. How are you? I am doing fantastic, in fact. And back

to our normal routine. Mid-October, it's no longer summer here, and you can tell it's raining,

and I don't love it, but it's nice to have a normal routine

with very little Apple news, so it's fine. There's some Apple News, we'll get to that. Yeah,

some, yes. The smallest possible Apple News. Mike is away this week, so I'm not just, you know,

we're not just not introducing him. He's not actually here. We should do something for Mike who's not just, you know, we're not just not introducing him. He's not actually here.

We should do something for Mike who's not here, you know, as a tradition on this show.

Given that we are going to talk about titanium shortly in follow-up, I have an idea.

If you miss Mike, send him your favorite, and stay with me here, Stephen, send him your favorite song that mentions a mineral in the title.

Whoa.

Can be iron, can be gold, can be copper.

I don't know.

Are there any songs about copper?

Is copper a mineral? No, I don't think so. I don't know. Are there any songs about copper? Is copper a mineral?

No, I don't think so. I don't know. Well, send him a song that mentions a rock or a metal

or whatever, you know, reminds you of titanium. But it cannot be titanium. It can be something else,

you know? He's going to get four mentions and that's it. That's so specific.

Hey, I'm sure there are songs about metals and minerals.

So metals and minerals are fine.
