>>So the question is, are analysts overreacting to last quarter's "miss" or did Cook privately signal to analysts that Apple would try to be more accurate with their forecasting. The latter is possible, but would seem out of character for Apple. It would also introduce the possibility of Apple actually missing their own guidance. I find it hard to believe that Apple put themselves in a position where that might happen.<<

I agree, Slacker. Cook has stated repeatedly on the conference calls that the projections they provide are numbers they feel confident they will hit. They are trying to avoid downside surprises. Upside surprises aren't as upsetting.

I really don't believe Cook will change the way Apple provides guidance.
