UC-Riverside researchers are trying to determine if antimatter weights more than matter--if antimatter does weigh more then that could explain why the universe seems to have no antimatter and why it is expanding at an increasing rate. The assumption has been that matter and antimatter are exactly the same other than properties like charge, but that assumption would lead to the expectation that the Big Bang should have created an equal amount of antimatter:

RIM's new CEO backed away from his comments that seemed to indicate that he would continue the policies of RIM's former co-CEOs, saying that RIM has already made a lot of changes (such as the move to QNX) and they have the assets to succeed. He also slammed Android device makers, saying that Android devices "are all the same". It is pretty weird for me to hear that coming from the person in charge of all BlackBerry devices, as BlackBerry devices sure seem to me to be much more uniform than Android devices. Apple and Microsoft talk about Android fragmentation, saying that it is bad for users and developers that Android devices are so different, while RIM says Android devices are all the same:
