The key to a secure online world of tomorrow? Why, that would be an internet that spends a bit more time padding its waistline at the protocol buffet. Researchers at the Georgia Institute of Technology have developed an evolutionary model, dubbed EvoArch, that simulates a survival of the IP fittest battle for the interweb’s belly. Separated into six distinct layers, the top-to-bottom structure — specific applications, application protocols, transport protocols, network protocols, data-link protocols and physical layer protocols — reveals a fiercely competitive middle tier that often sees newer, non-specialized competition cannibalized in favor of an older, more dominant framework. The team created the theoretic model as a guideline for “architects of the future Internet… to increase the number of protocols in these middle layers,” thus protecting the web from potential security vulnerabilities. Despite these proposed layer variances, however, further simulations of the model only churned out more midriff slimming eventualities. It seems our dear internet is destined for a damned if you do, damned if you don’t hourglass-shaped evolution. Full PR after the break.

Granderson, a CNN contributor, said of a Bachmann candidacy that “the people aren't going to vote for crazy. And she [Bachmann] still registers as crazy with a lot of independents.” Phillips immediately responded that “If you could go back decades, there's a lot of people who vote for crazy, guys.” [Video below the break.] It seems that the running commentary on CNN is that conservative candidates like Bachmann or Texas governor Rick Perry are not only weak candidates but are repellent to independent voters. CNN contributors John Avlon, Will Cain, and Granderson all believe that the choice of Bachmann or Texas governor Rick Perry would prove fatal for the GOP in 2012. Will Cain, who writes for National Review and who also criticized the Tea Party last week, surmised Monday that Obama would be happy with facing the current Republican field. “We're messing around with the likes of Michele Bachmann, and Rick Perry and even Mitt Romney,” Cain said, criticizing the Republicans. “Until a Chris Christie or a Paul Ryan comes around, I think the Obama administration remains a winner and remains pretty happy.”
