The market is rebounding after yesterday's selloff as the private sector added more than anticipated jobs and layoffs plummeted in October. Shares of AAPL are up with the rest of technology.

Apple Adds Fourth U.S. Carrier To iPhone List, And It's Not T-Mobile (Bloomberg)
T-Mobile must be pissed. Regional carrier C Spire (formerly known as Cellular South) will become the fourth wireless carrier in the U.S. to offer Apple's iPhone 4S.
