• The 76ers beat the Knicks for the second straight game, this time by 19 points. In order to win back fans, the Sixers have started a new marketing slogan: “The 76ers: If we only played the Knicks every game, we’d have 50 wins!” [Daily News]

• You lose, Philly. Macedonia has 95 percent of its terrain wireless, unless this is an April Fool’s Day prank and I didn’t notice. And the kids have free Internet access. In Macedonia. And Philly is just going to be one big Earthlink network. I see. [Financial Times via Blinq]

• New York City has joined Pennsylvania in tax-free shopping on clothes, except theirs has a provision that it’s only when it’s $110 or less. We Pennsylvanians can buy Diesel jeans without having to pay tax muah ha ha ha! Or maybe we do. I’ve never bought a non-used pair. (Ew.) [Gawker]

• A cargo plane crashed at Dover Air Force base, and it’s omigod-like-effing-sawed-in-half but it appears nobody was seriously hurt. Some good news to end this dreary — weather-wise — morning. [AP/Philly.com]
