(CNN) -- Apple's Mac Pro, the high-end show horse of the company's desktop line, goes on sale Thursday, restoring some luster to deskbound computers that have been overshadowed by the mobile revolution.

In some ways the Mac Pro, which will be available for preorder on Apple's website and Apple stores, is like the fancy haute couture dresses that get walked down the runways of Paris and New York.

At more than $3,000, the sleek machine is more computer than most people need or can afford. But it serves as a showcase for what its creator can do.

"Can't innovate any more, my ass," Apple Vice President Phil Schiller said when he unveiled the new Mac Pro in June. It was a response to some analysts who say rivals like Samsung and Google have been rolling out fresher ideas than Apple the past couple of years.

The sleek black Mac Pro doesn't look like anything else on the market.

The Mac Pro certainly doesn't look like anything else on the market. It's a silver and black cylinder and stands just 10 inches tall.

Packing a range of Intel Xeon processors, the new Mac Pro is more than twice as fast as its predecessor, released three years ago, Apple says.

And, starting at $2,999 (with custom modifications that could push prices upward of $12,000), it's for a select group of power users like graphic designers, photographers, videographers, animators and the like.

The machine has six of Apple's Thunderbolt 2 ports, enabling up to 36 external devices to be attached.

Apple says the Mac Pro has been designed and manufactured in the United States.

Pro users are a small part of Apple's overall business. Only 19% of the company's revenue in the first quarter of this year came from Macs. That's just shy of the 21% it made selling iPads, and a far cry from the 49% Apple made on the iPhone.

SAMSUNG GALAXY NOTE II LOCK SCREEN BYPASS VULNERABILITY

If you’re an iOS user then it’s a high probability that you’ve heard about the security flaws found in iPhone recently. If you haven’t then you can read about it here.

This time it’s Android which is in the buzz these days. Specifically, it’s the creative phablet Samsung Galaxy Note II which is in the news. A Youtuber named Terence Eden recently uploaded a video on Youtube demonstrating the security flaw in the Samsung Galaxy Note II. The vulnerability shows how a user can bypass the lock screen and access the apps or calls from the home screen of Android OS. This vulnerability was demonstrated on a Note II running on Android 4.1.2 stock OS. Though, a user can only access the homescreen for a second or two but that timespan is enough to make a call or open any app on the homescreen if you’re quick enough.

As a (proud) owner of Galaxy Note II, I gave it a try and found out that the demonstrated procedure actually works just fine. Not a good news for Note II users. You can watch the video uploaded by Terence Eden below:

I wonder if it’s just Galaxy Note II which is having this vulnerability or maybe it’s the same for Galaxy lineup running Android 4.1.2 such as a Samsung Galaxy S3. Well, my colleague has a Galaxy S3 so I reckon that it’s time to test it out on an S3 as well. I’ll update this post after checking that on a Galaxy S3 soon. Till then, happy hacking!
