Pakistan, amid widespread electrical outages and natural gas shortages, has taken a drastic step and banned the use of air conditioners in government offices.

Prime Minister Mir Hazar Khan Khoso said the ban will take effect on May 15, the Associated Press reported. It will stay in effect until Pakistan’s energy situation gets better.

It comes at a time the nation is heading toward triple-digit temperatures. The summer average in Pakistan hits about 104 degrees Fahrenheit

Deficit is now 40% of consumption :-) Oil resources will be fully deplated in 2025, gas resources in 2030 (horrible EROI is already reality).

Check for your future.

The rumor also notes that OS X 10.9, which is internally codenamed "Cabernet," will include a new version of Safari with a focus on speed and efficiency. Like Mountain Lion before it, 10.9 will reportedly borrow features from iOS: a new multitasking feature inspired by the mobile operating system may be included, and background apps may be paused similarly to how they are on iPhones and iPads.

"Improvements" galore.
