Maybe a bit of a stretch, some would say just incorporating as many possible facts that conveniently fit the intended message. You could probably do the same thing with 1983 and 2052 or anything if you tried hard enough. An interesting read nonetheless.

A circular irrigation field in Saudi Arabia (one of many) is significant? Why just that one? There are circles everywhere. My stovetop has circles on it. Does it mean something?

While I don't think the events mentioned in the original post are apophenia, the following may be.
"When the lamb opened the seventh seal, there was silence in heaven for about half an hour." Revelation 8:1
"I heard the man dressed in linen, who was above the waters of the river, as he raised his right hand and his left toward heaven, and swore by Him who lives forever that it would be for a time, times, and half a time; and as soon as they finish shattering the power of the holy people, all these events will be completed." Daniel 12:7
"time, times, and half a time" is generally interpreted as three and a half 360 day years. However, "time, times," could be interpreted as x*x = x ^ 2 and "half a time" could be interpreted as x/2 and "and" could be interpreted as an additive operator.
Using this interpretation "time, times, and half a time" is equivalent to the parabolic equation
x ^ 2 + x/2
If x is approximately 44.595 then the equation equals 2011. The 44th US president will be halfway through his first term in 2011. This is the only presidency where this concurrence occurs.

It makes me wonder about the movies Eye Robot, and Eagle Eye, and how both systems ended up "trying to protect" the people. Do you think that could be possible with the computer you are describing?
