Comment Vaunt and Airbnb (Score 1) 68

My friend recently discovered the perfect blend of luxury and flexibility in her digital nomad lifestyle: VAUNT's private jet service paired with unique Airbnb stays.

Now let's see what happens when it is Samsung doing what Apple does. Or it excuse me, doing what any multinational company with a vast patent portfolio would do...
