The comments on this article read like the Apple forums, 'I can't replicate it, so you must be doing it wrong.' Just because it's not happening to me doesn't mean it's not an issue.

Fact of the matter is that the laws of unintended consequences are at play here. Apple took a button which was perfectly fine being separate and on its own and made it part of the standard keyboard. Then they took away a confirmation dialog that would have prevented it from automatically switching power modes.

This wasn't a problem, now it is, and Apple refuses to acknowledge the problem. It doesn't matter if YOU don't have this problem, some people do.

I am really hoping the past week of low quality HN commentary is simply a by-product of the weekend folks having extended breaks...
