Arrogant how? I have no college education and I am currently developing a health application so I am extremely excited to have the opportunity to take these courses. There is nothing arrogant about this and not only do I applaud them for being the first school to do this but I hope that other schools ie: MIT etc... follow suit.

Which is kind of his point - they will have to choose a domain that is either also generic (anatomy-course.org), which would be confusing, or use something like (mit-class.edu/anatomy) which is less memorable.
I wouldn't go as far as calling stanford arrogant though - they came first, everybody had the opportunity to do this for a decade.
MIT has been doing it for a decade, except for the coordinated enrollment (study groups) and automatically graded exercises (both of which are nice enhancements, but the ML class exercises are mostly pointless.) http://ocw.mit.edu/
