Apologizes if this has already been posted.

Any ideas on why Apple would kill this very useful tool on their website?

I saw that on 9to5 Mac today also and I agree it is odd Apple removed it. I wonder is people were abusing it somehow?

Or potentially there was some security type of flaw in relation to it somewhere so they might have taken it down until they get it addressed.
