Hmm... this is a separate issue altogether but what is up with the "Gap Inc." site? It has zero branding whatsoever... I'd have assumed it was a domain landing page if it wasn't for the link being posted here.

Gap Inc. is the parent company for Gap, Banana Republic, Old Navy, and a few other brands. Its website is geared toward corporate information, rather than the brands Gap Inc. owns, which have their own retail sites.
Yes, it looks like a spam/squatting site. In addition, it always turns me off when I see sites that, when accessed by http://www.gapinc.com, redirect to http://www.gapinc.com/public/index.shtml (or something similar).
Why?
The URL is for the computer, not you.
In that case, couldn't we just do away with domians and stick to IP addresses then? At least sans IP scarcity issues. :P
You only think that because of sites like this one. URLs are very certainly for people.

The bottom of gap.com has an "About Gap Inc" link that goes to the site, so I'm guessing it's legit.
