No, there are no viruses that exist in the wild that can run on Mac OS X. There are trojans, but those require you to actively install them, including entering your administrative password. As long as you only install software from legitimate sources, you won't have a problem.

How can you break your hard drive? Throw your Mac on the ground really hard.

Yes, it's possible to get hacked, if you don't take simple precautions.
