"Tem sido uma presença regular na televisão, onde faz comentário. Gosta de ir à televisão?
Sou convidado mais vezes do que apareço. Excepto na RTP, que não é um órgão livre, onde não me convidam. A TVI também foi agora ocupada. Vou à SIC. A televisão é um modo de chegar às pessoas muito intenso. Tudo se vê com muito pormenor. Conto sempre a história dos dedos.
Dos dedos?
Firo-me por causa das peles. E ponho mercúrio.
Porque é que faz isso? Tique nervoso?
Antigamente tinha um canivete com que cortava as peles. Puxava-as, e fazia sangue.
É uma auto-mutilação.
É! Até que enfim alguém diz a palavra certa. Andava sempre com os dedos vermelhos. Agora, corto todas as noites as peles com uma tesoura e depois ponho uma pomada. Às vezes, quando há ferimentos recorro ao mercúrio, e na televisão vê-se. "Que é que fizeste aos dedos?". Portanto, até isso se vê.
Porque é que faz isso?
Não sei. A minha mãe roía as unhas. Eu corto peles. Acho que há um superávit de energia que não é canalizada para o sítio certo - para a cabeça, para os pés - e que vem desembocar na ponta dos dedos."

Acer Eclipses Dell and Apple
By Ashlee Vance
Well, there it is. A non-American company has managed to become the second-largest computer seller for the first time in history.
In a fresh research report issued on Wednesday, IDC confirmed that Acer, based in Taiwan, overtook Dell, of Round Rock, Texas, as the Number 2 PC maker during the third quarter. The two companies had been neck-and-neck for the last couple of quarters, with Acer benefiting from the increasing demand for netbooks and Dell suffering from a lack of business computer sales. Acer has now set its sights on Hewlett-Packard, the clear PC market leader out of Palo Alto, Calif.
According to IDC, H.P. took 20.2 percent of the worldwide PC market in the third quarter, an increase from 18.9 percent in the same period last year. Acer’s market share shot up to 14 percent from 11.4 percent, while Dell’s market share dropped to 12.7 percent from 14.2 percent.
Lenovo, based in China, and Toshiba of Japan rounded out the top five sellers, with 8.9 percent and 5.2 percent of the market, respectively.
All of the PC companies actually saw their sales rise during the quarter, except for Dell.
Sales at Dell dropped 8.4 percent during the quarter, while Acer’s sales rose 25.6 percent and H.P.’s 9.3 percent.
