How do I properly stretch my newly strung strings?

I came across this string stretcher device. It claims to properly and evenly stretch new strings and maintain tuning.

I never really made a point to properly stretch newly strung strings. Can anyone comment on the practice of stretching strings and or the relevance of such a device?

Apparently: "A lot of musicians mistake their guitar tuning problems as a guitar problem. More often than not, the guitar is not the problem. Tuning problems are likely the result of strings that have not been stretched properly."
