Hi,

From what I understand, USB peripherals, especially if they have an
additional power supply, can release some voltage over the USB-port on
powering down the computer. This residual charge is then interpreted by
the computer to be the power-on signal, and the machine does so
accordingly. This is covered in the FAQ section of the apple
TIL.(http://til.info.apple.com/)

Hope this helps

Hans
