You know the USB or Firewire ports on the side of your computer? Use them.
Either you manually back up the importnant stuff you have OR Mac OS can do it for you with Time Machine - http://www.apple.com/macosx/what-is-macosx/time-machine.html
Or, as suggested in comments above, use Dropbox.
Also, harddrives crash whatever fucking system you have. My own built stationary PC:s processor crashed three months ago. If it can happen, it will.

or just don't store any important data on your computer at all. That's what I usually do.

I dunno how apple retail works in the states but in australia you can bring it into a local mac store and they will swap / repair the drive on the spot for you.

If you can afford it buy a SSD. Intel's X-25M and OCZ's Vertex are by far the best and just about any computer guru will tell you, upgrading to a SSD is the best upgrade you can do for your computer. SSD are kind of expensive right now, but you can get one for around 220 or so for a ~80Gig.
I wouldn't even bother buying an antiquated HDD unless you can't afford a SSD.

I'm sorry I trusted a $2000 computer that is barely 7 months old with a few files! My 4 year old Dell laptop hard drive has never failed on me despite being less than half the cost. Why would I expect a high quality mac drive to fail before a budget Dell?

DRIVES WILL FAIL. ALL OF THEM.
Yes, the ones that are very expensive will also fail. It is still your fault for not backing up. You can't "trust something because it costs more." That's mind-boggling.

Even nuclear plants and spaceships fail. Your only problem (as the warranty, for free, gives you a new harddrive) is that you didn´t back up your files. You are the one who failed here.

Your first statement makes no sense. One nuclear power plant has ever failed and that was because they were running tests without the safety features. Nuclear power plants will never fail as long as the people operating it are smart enough to watch the readings. There is a different between what you described, which is an error, and a mechanical design failure. In the OP's case, without any indication or external forces that he knows about, his hard drive crashed. A nuclear power plant fails if someone does not pay attention to the warnings.
How does the giving him a new harddrive help at all? All the work I have on my computer is worth incredibly more than what the harddrive is worth. Giving me a new harddrive that may crash again is worthless.
How did he fail? He assume a product would work? He assumed with Mac bashing PC in all its ads that Mac was actually better? He thinks that paying by paying 3 times the amount that he would pay on a similar machine, he should get something with good quality? He said that he finished some of the stuff the day and the day before, not everyone backs up everyday. Oh, maybe you Mac people do because you are afraid of losing your work everyday because of your computer.

Actually, SSD lifespan's are extremely long, much longer than any HDD. Even with a daily 3TB read/write SSD lasts over 12 years and thats the older models. Newer models like intel's X-25M G2 will last well over 30 years. NAND-Flash technology is not as brittle as mechanical.
The only thing holding back SSD right now is the price. In 2-3 years they'll be common place and everyone will think back to the antiquated HDD time and let out a /sigh of relief just like the jump from dial-up to cable was. That's how big of a technological leap SSD are.
Trust me, someone who has 2 X-25M G2's in RAID, with bootup times from the time I hit the on button to the time everything is fully loaded is under 10 seconds. The time where you can watch textures load into games is gone. Everything is instant. It's really the best upgrade you can get for your computer.

Actually there have been nomerous cases where nuclear plants in one way or others have failed, eventhough it seldom leads up to disasters like Tjernobyl. Despite high security and rigorous safety measures things will fail. But in case you missed the whole point - things can fail eventhough you try to prevent them from not doing so. I bet harddrives more expensive than the ones in Apple´s computers have failed before.

Yeah, and that´s why you copy your files to an external harddrive or even better to a "nonphysical" harddrive over the internet. Harddrives may crash, so may rammemories, motherboards, fans, etcetera - so I guess you are better off not working with computers at all. A new harddrive would probably allow him to continue to work. But please, link to a harddrive (non-ssd) that has never crashed. If he had made a time machine backup he would have a clone of his old harddrive on his new harddrive in under 30 minutes. That´s a built in feature.
And also, if I knew that I had worked my ass off for a long time and finally finalising that work - I would for sure make at least one backup. And I would probably do it more than once along the road.

He failed because he didn´t back up his files. Although he knew how important it was, not losing them.

Mac's are extremely overrated and extremely expensive. They rely on hipsters to be willing to pay that much for the "flavor of the month". You're buying the name as much as you are buying the product.

Funny thing is - the users do not think so. Why is that? Why is it that people continue to buy Apple´s products, again and again and again. And more and more people are doing it. I´ve been using computers since late 80´s, starting with amiga 500 - went through win 3.1, 95, 98, 2000, XP when I bought my first Mac four years ago. And right now there is nothing that Microsoft puts out that wants me to switch back.

NAND-Flash technology is not as brittle as mechanical. There is no theoretical limit to the amount of writing a mechanical hard drive can take, like there is for flash.

I love how you bitch about MacBook and then use your iPhone to continue browsing the internets, you're such an Apple whore, suck on Jobs' infantile inadequate penis some more and then maybe when it runs dry of shitty products you will realize your mistake and switch to PC.
In other news, I hope this experience has taught you something: life sucks, and it sucks more when you rely on Apple. Good luck with your classes and "computer."
Hahahahaha.
