Welcome to the weird and wacky world of Mavericks. Since Apple seems to think we all should have Retina MBPs by now, they also seem to think that a power button for turning the thing off or on is a quaint and obsolete vestige of the past.

depends on HOW you type too, I personally could NEVER hit it accidentally

but not everyone types the same way.

as such. No resolution currently.

Same issue here, I am a production manager for a live events audio/video company and we all just upgraded to retina mbp's recently. We have had issues with people going to turn the audio up and hitting the power button accidentally at the same time during presentations and the screen going blank. Wish there was at least an option to turn the functionality back to the "What do you want to do" menu when you hit the power button.

Horrible issue.

I agree. I accidentally press the power button when pressing backspace and it interupts music streaming and shuts down. They should set a 1.5s delay for it to go to sleep meaning no reaction on a shorter press and everything should be fine. An iPhone/iPad atleast does not shut down the connection when you shut down the screen so it is not behaving the same on all platforms.

Engineers at its worst.. My old macbook pro with the power button not within the keyboard was a much better solution. Great example on when minimalism turns bad..
