@hub I have a pair of those and found them awkward. Same with the fingertip-flip gloves.
Your fingers are already cold and you end up messing with the seals for what seems like forever just to stop the drafts.
Likely just me. I certainly stopped using them once I found the liner gloves.

Frederick wohnt mit anderen Mäusen zusammen. Alle sammeln fleißig - bis auf Frederick. Der guckt den ganzen Tag ins Blaue, behauptet, Farben zu sammeln und Sonnenstrahlen. Die anderen Mäuse nennen ihn faul. Deshalb teilen sie nicht, als der Winter kommt. Sie sind satt und haben es warm, während Frederick friert und hungert.
Aber auch mit vollem Bauch sind die Tage leer und dunkel - bis Frederick ...

Why?
1. It just draws more attention to the original story, which was the last thing you wanted, remember?
2. If you try to rebut it at a high level, you'll look like you're hiding something. If you try to get into the weeds, you'll look petty and nitpicking. You can't win.
3. Getting some bad press is an inevitable side effect of being a public figure. Trying to stop it all makes you look like King Canute ordering the tide to not come in.
If the story got something factually wrong, publish a correction. Otherwise, anything you say will only make things worse.

devices for more than a decade, the same user interface I could trust for years and years 
Holy crap guys, good job on that Export for Mobile feature! That made setting up my e-mail on my new phone so insanely easy!
