Long before Naomi, Veronica Webb and Tyra came on the scene in the late 80/early 90s, Naomi Sims, Beverly Johnson, Bethann Hardison and Iman were busy knocking down doors to get work and represent (I think a couple of the aforementioned names should take note, hmm?).  After hanging up her runway strut, she would further her career in fashion by creating the Naomi Sims cosmetic line (this could be found only at the department store counter in the 70s and 80s) and a wig line.

Over the weekend, the former model and businesswoman lost a long battle with cancer,
her son reported.

    From the screenshots this looks almost identical to the Debugger in Dashcode. There are some tiny differences (on Dashcode there are words under the icons, there is a Stop and a single button for Run / Pause. Also the arrow on the source code is slightly larger. But otherwise it looks very similar. What are the odds Apple would develop TWO different JavaScript debuggers at the same time?As for being a ‘proper programming language’ – there’s a difference between being able to do something and it being easy to do it
