Check this out for a previous post. But, adding a bit to that answer...
First - while you have 4 physical cores, you have hyperthreading active, which allows each core to serve as 2 virtual cores. This will give you a theoretical maximum CPU usage of 100% x 8, or 800%.
Second - the % reported in the activity monitor is showing total CPU% (so it won't ...

If the line doesn't exist commented-out, then just add it separately. i.e. put a line in httpd.conf that reads AddModule mod_php5.c.

I suspect that PathFinder isn't actually the culprit here. I downloaded and extracted (although didn't install) PathFinder, and searched for ECFile, and found no matches:
Mitsu:Contents ashley$ pwd
/Users/ashley/Downloads/Path Finder.app/Contents
Mitsu:Contents ashley$ find . -type f -exec grep ECFile {} \;

Given this is happening after a clean install, and there are no errors in the log, sadly I'm suspecting a hardware issue, which coincidentally has occurred near the time of upgrading from 10.5.
I have seen issues like this which were caused by a failure of the inverter board (which generates power for the display backlight).
I would recommend making a ...

It seems like a bug in Mountain Lion. Removing the app from dock and adding it again usually resolves the problem for me.

To answer the question in your update "Can Time Machine do selective restoring?", Migration Assistant (in /Applications/Utilities) can restore data from a Time Machine backup, with some control over what is restored. See Apple's HT4889 for some details.
You also asked: "If I restore my entire home folder, will I also be restoring the faulty settings ...

Apple has documentation for their Software Update server built in to OS X Server here -- see under "Other services". This doesn't seem to give the detail you need, but it does mention the /etc/swupd/swupd.conf configuration file, which might contain that information.

1 . Delete the stack from your dock and drag the download folder again into the dock and try

Mountain Lion does log a limited amount of information to
/private/var/log/wifi.log
To read that file – and its siblings such as wifi.log.0.bz2 – use Console.
Included with the operating system is a diagnostics app that can enable debug logging. With that level of logging enabled you can then use Console to:
view all messages
add a system log query

Bluetooth and WiFi do use the same 2.4GHz1 frequency bands (as do many other things), so they could interfere relatively easily. It also doesn't help that there are a lot of networks in your area. However, I find it highly unlikely that the interference would cause you to lose your connection, given that the video shows a full 4 bars when you are connected.

The best way is to boot into your current OS X install, and download the Mountain Lion installer from the Mac App Store. When the installer asks which drive to install to, select your second partition.
Internet Recovery is different to the Recovery HD partition.
Generally…
As long as you have a valid Recovery HD partition, trying to boot into ...

The problem is that you are getting flooded with notifications. They're coming in so fast that the Notification Center is summarizing them instead of displaying them. So you probably should turn off some notifications.
Some apps let you select, in the application's preferences, what to notify you about. For example, Sonora probably lets you turn off ...

Solved by myself. XQuartz installation added a custom configuration for ssh in etc/ssh_config. I have just removed ForwardX11 yes and ssh won't open XQuartz anymore.

Apple only supports backup to Time Capsule, so the wording there is a constant and not something designed to know it's not backing up to Time Capsule as opposed to an actual server or directly connected drive.
You can test this (since I doubt they recently changed course on this with an update) by connecting a totally new drive to the Airport Extreme, wipe ...

If possible, you should try manually deleting the file from trash. I don't have a Mac, but when that same problem happens on my Windows computer, deleting the file out of the trash seems to work.
Good luck.

With the help of Growl's documentation about AppleScript support and a little discussion with Bart Arondson and Elliot B in the comments onto the question I've come up with the following AppleScript.

The Trash contains files from different volumes. Try running…
rm -rfv /Volumes/BOOTCAMP/.Trashes/*
Depending on drive permissions, this may have to be run using sudo.

One simple idea first: hold down the option (alt) key as you choose Finder > Empty Trash (see Apple's HT1526).
If that doesn't work, I noticed that if you look closely in your Get Info screenshot, you can see that the file is actually in /Volumes/BOOTCAMP/.Trashes/501, not ~/.Trash.
I'd try rm -f ...

A firmware update for that SSD was released early this year: have you updated? The release notes mention:

OK, so I found the culprit.
It is amazing that no error message was visible in console or in the error logs, but I found a site which helped me a lot.

The serial number may be an issue. When MacOSX thinks it is running on dodgy (i.e. non-Apple) hardware it usually has far more severe problems. There's no lockdown of an installation of MacOSX to a particular Mac, i.e. no DRM with keys and mandated validation with the vendor as with Windows. Apple cares most about people buying hardware, so the only "piracy" ...

You can edit the plist in a text editor after converting it to XML:
plutil -convert xml1 ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.LaunchServices.plist

I had the same issue, what I found was that using a Software called ShareMouse, and when it crashed, I lost my Cmd+v functionality; I then forced ShareMouse to close, and cmd+v returned.
You may be experiencing this issue with ShareMouse, or some other piece of software.

Two things to check that correlate to this being caused by increase LAN traffic due to new roommates.
Are there QoS (Quality of Service) settings on the router, and if so, how are they set? Skype traffic would be prioritized and if the WAN is getting saturated the router might respond by temporarily shutting of lower priority connections.

You shouldn't directly open the ISO file in OS X: it's not needed. You should simply convert the .img file to an .iso file and copy it to the USB stick using dd, following these instructions.
Then restart your Mac pressing the Option key, and choose the live USB option.

Check out duti:
duti is a command-line tool written by Andrew Mortensen, designed to set default applications for document types and URL schemes on Mac OS X.

This question is answered very thoroughly here: http://superuser.com/questions/259248/mac-osx-change-file-association-per-file-on-the-command-line

I guess the answer's 'no', then. Will send feedback to Apple about it and hope that it changes in a future update.

I would run /System/Library/CoreServices/Network Diagnostics.app and isolate what isn't working on the Mac.

From the tests you made we can eliminate a list of potential culprit
candidates:
memory: hardware tests
internal disk: use in target mode
but you might be tougher on this test:
in target disk mode fire Disk Utility and perform some (ex.: 4)
Verify disk one after the other.
OS: re-install by an Apple service center
Here are the remaining candidates:

Question: Is the [AEBS + USB/AirDisk + Time Machine] combo finally,
officially supported? On Mountain Lion or something? I couldn't find
documentation along those lines but since we're talking about backups,
I just want to make sure I'm not following an unsupported mechanism.
It is not supported.

Its hard for me to test, but I believe if you set the alert type to banners, and then un-tick the show in notification center then it shouldn't show the count.
Open System Preferences > Notifications
Select the desired app from the list
Select 'Banners' as the alert style
Un-tick the option Show in Notificaion Center: X Recent Items

There is an option called "Keep copies of messages for offline viewing"

Goto your HomeFolder -> Library -> Preferences and delete the file : com.apple.terminal.plist

This smells like another device on your network is trying to use the same IP as you, or some trouble with DHCP.
Could you see if you can still reproduce it after assigning yourself a static IP?

In the messages prefs, under the messages tab do you have the "save history when conversations are closed" checked or not?

You can switch hidden files visibility using freeware app Funter that executes the same code in Terminal as it was listed above. So the problem is resolved in two clicks.
You can access Funter from menu bar just like that:

Try deleting the savedState directory:

When I tried running killall -kill Finder, that worked, but open -Fa Finder or command-clicking Finder's Dock icon didn't.
You could also try to:

Well, this thread exists, which I must have missed when I first looked into the problem.
While I'm not sure why the issue was occurring, I can reasonably say that it was related to 10.8.3, and at least one other person I asked was not experiencing the same.
Anyhow, this behavior is caused by /Library/Preferences/com.apple.TimeMachine.plist, and in ...
