Apple Inc. announced Monday that it would release its earnings results for its fiscal first quarter of 2009 on a Wednesday, January 21st live, streaming webcast of the event. We'll be 'there' in some capacity to bring you the numbers as soon as they are released.

Apple’s conference call webcast discussing Q1 - 2009 financial results will begin at 2:00pm PT/5:00pm ET on Wednesday, January 21, 2009.

We don't expect Steve Jobs to drop in this time around.

Actually Apple is not

Actually Apple is not changing the rules. Different companies have different fiscal years. There is no "rule" that your fiscal year has to start on Jan 1 and end on dec 31. it just so happens that this tends to be common. Apple's fiscal year ended when a lot of companies were putting out their Q3 earnings. So while other companies will be reporting their Q4 earnings, Apple (along with a whole bunch of other companies) will be reporting there Q1 earnings. Either way, Q4 or Q1, still represents the same time lapse (roughly october through dec).

Why do some companies do that you say? Well, for lots of reasons but I suppose the most common one would be tax purposes.
