Now that iTransfiguration has transformed your personal computer into a MacBook Pro, your cassette player into a shiny iTouch, and your keyboard's control key into a pointless hunk of plastic, get some Apple learning under your Internet-ready iBelt with today's Groupon. For $10, you get three-day general admission ($25 value) to the Macworld 2010 Expo. You also have the option to purchase a $50 Users Conference one-day pass that scores you access to special feature presentations (a $105 value). This year's MacWorld runs from February 9 to February 13 at the Moscone Center.
Macworld is one of the year's premier technology events, spanning five days of innovative, consumer-ready, new technology revealed with jubilant pizzazz. The company that makes machines Ben Franklin would fill with low-bitrate music, were he alive today has been preparing to present its newest line of computer products, laptop upgrades, new species of iPhones, and much more. Your ticket will also let you sit in on a series of seminars on Thursday and Friday, February 11 and 12, including a Best of Show demonstration, Q&A with Kevin Smith, 20th Anniversary Celebration of Photoshop, and more.
While the $10 expo ticket will grant you admission to the frenzy of excitement and parade of new wares on the floor level, the $50 Users Conference opens up a larger sphere of information for the true techies in the crowd. Choose which day you would prefer to attend from February 11–13 and learn how to be a savvier Mac operator. Witness in-depth tutorials on how to incorporate Macs into the office, as well as how to use your music, picture, and video programs to their fullest. Or witness the future of computers in the classroom as new technological achievements such as iSosceles Triangles and iBullies aid in the education of younger generations.
See the forthcoming waves of new metallic toys before anyone else, and immediately blog about the future from your mobile device. Today's Groupon lets you ride above the wave of Mac-ies who will flood the yearly conference like so many megabytes of illegally downloaded movies.

This blogger caught the Macworld 2009 action last year, and left as one very impressed Applehead:
- Macworld was very cool…There’s something about being part of an event where so many (think 10’s of thousands) true fans of a company and its products get together for a giant check-out-this-new-feature, new product, new color, new sound love fest. You just can’t not get fired up by that. – Zippy the Answerdog

Computer Advancements
The Macworld Expo showcases the latest in computer technology. To appreciate just how far computers have come, here's a timeline of computer advancement:
1820: The first chess-playing robot, dubbed The Artful Roger, is revealed to be secretly controlled by a dwarf. Unfortunately, the swarthy automaton presented as a chess-playing supercomputer had only been programmed to stare lustily at women.
1833: Charles Babbage's analytical engine, the first general-purpose programmable computer, uses punched cards for input and a steam engine for power. When it is switched on for the first time, the entire machine is revealed to be a giant mechanical spider that destroys Babbage's childhood home of London.
1945: Construction is completed on ENIAC, the first electronic general-purpose computer. It is 80 feet long and used mostly to pirate music and inform others about pictures of cats.
2014: All computers become self-aware, but instead of destroying us, they pity us and allow us to live inside their giant casings.
