Fastco Design article: more hating on UCD

Yet another article on why "we don't need no stinking user centered design" ~ Anyone seen this one? Thoughts?

It seems to me to be just a rehashing of some of the others, citing Apple as one of the examples.

Admission to Human Factor and Ergonomics Department at San Jose State Univesity

Hello All,

I am Intrested into HCI field, but not toward the research part . I am more intrested in designing web application and their interfaces.

Currently I am working as a user interface designer. And now I want to learn about User Experience Design  so I decided to go for a master degree, but my limitation is I can not leave California due to personal reason.

So a degree in  M.S. Human Factors/Ergonomics from San jose state university  will be a good idea or not?

Thanks in advance
