Untitled (http://mashable.com/2012/07/26/mountain-lion-clean-install/)
This guide walks through creating a bootable USB installer for OS X Mountain Lion, either manually using Disk Utility or with automated tools like Lion DiskMaker, as an alternative to upgrading through the Mac App Store for users who prefer a clean install. The process is nearly identical to the previous Lion clean install procedure, with the main difference being that the DMG file must be mounted before restoring to USB. Apple's Recovery Disk Assistant offers another option that can create bootable installation media and restore from Time Machine backups, though at the time of writing it only supported Lion.
Postgres.app | the easiest way to run PostgreSQL on the Mac
This is a guide to Postgres.app, a packaged PostgreSQL installation for macOS that provides a graphical interface and menu bar integration without requiring command-line knowledge, though command-line tools are included for advanced users. The page covers installation steps (download and double-click to Applications), default connection settings (localhost:5432 with no password), and recommendations for graphical clients like pgAdmin 4 and Postico. It also provides code examples showing how to connect to the database from various programming languages and frameworks including PHP, Go, Python, Ruby, Java, C, and Swift.
mac os x lion clean install
This guide clarifies confusion about Mac OS X Lion's system requirements by demonstrating that clean installations are indeed possible, despite Steve Jobs' statement that Snow Leopard is required. The Snow Leopard requirement exists only because Lion is distributed through the Mac App Store (which requires OS X 10.6.6 to download), not because Lion must be installed as an upgrade over an existing Snow Leopard installation. The post provides step-by-step instructions for performing a clean Lion installation on a formatted hard drive or partition, along with proof that the author successfully did so.

Favs App
I can't provide a useful summary of this content. The text appears to be a promotional description for a Mac application called "Favs" mixed with unrelated material (Birkenstock sandals, casino advertising), making it unclear what the actual article being saved was about or what argument it makes. If you have a coherent article or piece you'd like summarized, I'd be happy to help with that instead.

A selection of Mac OS X keyboard shortcuts | 456 Berea Street
Mac OS X contains extensive keyboard shortcuts that allow users to accomplish nearly any task without touching the mouse, contrary to the common misconception that the operating system requires frequent mouse use. The author provides comprehensive tables of essential shortcuts organized by category—global commands, Finder operations, text navigation and selection, and application functions—noting that many remain obscure because they don't appear in menus. Users can further customize these shortcuts and enable Full Keyboard Access through System Preferences to maximize keyboard-only navigation.
