 If you import the Theme Unit Test data, one of the posts is scheduled for
 Jan 1st 2050. The Dashboard Activity widget doesn't indicate what year
 this is scheduled for though, and leaves the date as ambiguous - I suspect
 most people would assume it would be in a few weeks time, given no other
 information. The same would apply if the Recent Activity doesn't have a
 limit on it, where the last post was more than a year ago.

 Since these might be moving towards edge cases compared to activity on a
 lot of sites, I'd like to see a year included only if the timestamp is
 more than 1 year before or after the current date (rather than on each
 date).

 Screenshots included for clarification.
