IDG World Expo produces the Macworld Expo event. The site in question macworldexpo.com is their site, used for event registration, schedules etc.
Macworld.com, Macworld Magazine's website, remained up through the keynote (with some slowdowns), and provided live coverage of the event. Linked to from a previous/. story.
I have a dynamic dns client set up on my Mac OSX laptop.

I can always get my computers ip address by doing an nslookup on it's dns entry. If it were ever stolen, I could ssh to it (as long as it's not behind a firewall). Once I have a command line on it, I could destroy my old data, get copies of the new users data that might reveal its location etc. I could even upload a script that caused the modem to call my caller id enabled cell phone.
This is similar to that recent iMac recovery story where the guy used Timbuktu to find a computer.
