Sprint to shed jobs
Speaking of jobs, it looks like there may soon be fewer of them at Sprint (S). After rolling out a one dollar a month iPhone rental plan for consumers, Sprint is looking to lower costs in part by slashing their workforce. The mobile carrier is looking to cut costs by up to $2.5 billion in the next six months.

T-Mobile customers fall victim to Experian hacking
T-Mobile (TMUS) is dealing with a big data breach they really had nothing to do with. Some 15 million people who applied for service in the past two years had their personal data compromised last month, but it was credit monitoring agency Experian who was hacked.

Amazon banning rivals
Amazon (AMZN) has banned the sale of popular video streaming devices - Google (GOOGL) Chromecast and Apple (AAPL) TV - on its site. Amazon of course has their own video streaming device; the Fire TV Stick.
