Ars Technica:

Apple’s decision to throttle performance was the right one. But while many of the conspiracy theories are baseless, the controversy nevertheless exposed some of the deepest weaknesses endemic in Apple’s design philosophy and in its public relations and marketing strategy.

Explanation of what happened and why. There’s good and bad in Apple’s reasoning for doing it but, as I’ve often said, their lack of explanation and “full disclosure” can sometimes bite them in the ass.
