They had better issue an update for all remaining iOS6 users. They are despicable actors if they do not.
I updated my one iOS 6-using device yesterday. (v6.1.6?)

Was it a device that isn't compatible with iOS 7?I updated my one iOS 6-using device yesterday. (v6.1.6?)
I noticed after the 10.9.2 upgrade that the power button will no longer will put the 15" Macbook Pro with Retina (late 2013 model) to sleep anymore. This was working fine on 10.9 and 10.9.1.
Submitted a feedback report to Apple.
God, I hope it fixes the most annoying Safari bug where it loads a random page without finishing typing the URL.
Was it a device that isn't compatible with iOS 7?
As I've already said earlier, it's been disabled on mine since day 1.It is not a bug, it is a feature and you can switch it off in the preferences:
preferences -> Privacy -> Smart Search Field - > Do not preload Top Hit in the background
Nope. Even done a clean reinstall of Mavericks. Still happening. It's driving me insane. Don't know what to do. Also, because so random, it's hard to replicate the issue when I decide to take my Mac to Genius Bar.Finally, someone else with this issue! So, you haven't found a solution, either, huh?
No, it interrupts my typing and loads the most random website.I don't think that's intended to be a bug. If a website is in your top websites, and you start typing the first 2 or 3 letters, it will go straight there... really annoying however!
It has twice as many pixels(J/K)
Right. I think a number of comments about being able to update iOS 6 are mostly related to devices that still have it but are compatible with iOS 7, so to get the latest security fix they can only go to iOS 7 rather than get the iOS 6 update that exists for the issue.Yep. Not so helpful for someone with an iOS7-compatible device wanting to update to 6.1.6, but some of us aren't in that category.
Don't just tap the button, press and hold it for a bit.
A little bit blanks the screen, a little bit more brings up the shutdown options dialog.

Thanks. Yes, I was aware of it, but Cisco released it in a cloud of warnings that it was just a temporary work around, the workaround could cause other issues, and was likely to be rescinded as soon as Apple released an update-- so I figured it wasn't worth lobbying for.In case you're not aware of it, a few months ago Cisco released a "temporary" patched version of their VPN client to address this issue in 10.9. I had to turn the thumb screws on my IT folks to get them to distribute it.
Hi there - not being rude - but more so curious: Why would you need to download the 10.9.2 update installer to a USB drive? Why not just run it from the App Store and let it do it's thing?
Animations still get choppy just after a couple of days of using the Mac (Changing spaces and Mission Control). Was hoping for a fix in 10.9.2 but it didn't work. Like before, only a restart fixes the problem temporarily. I'm on a Macbook Pro 13" mid-2010.
Anyone else having this issue on the same Macbook model?
MITM attacks can defeat SSL even without this bug if the user doesn't manually verify the certificate credentials by looking at the organizations name attributed to the certificate. This can be done using ettercap in combination with SSLstrip and other programs for such activities.
Even then a cross site scripting vulnerability in a client side app, such as the browser, which are found all the time can allow SSL credentials to be compromised via the ever so common phishing emails.
Most users don't know how to adequately protect themselves from those types of compromises so the presence of this issue doesn't really make unknowledgeable users less secure anyway.
This doesn't mean that this issue shouldn't be treated seriously but it isn't the end of the world that the media is making it out to be.
