You can hide the notifications until you want to open notification center to see what they are by turning on Do Not Disturb in the settings. (Set it to be active on a timed basis, from say "7:01AM to 7:00am" to cover a full 24 hour spread.) Alternately, you can totally disable notification center via the terminal: http://osxdaily.com/2012/08/06/disable-notification-center-remove-menu-bar-icon-os-x/ http://osxdaily.com/2012/08/06/disable-notification-center-r... I don't think there's a way to move them, unfortunately. Or to disable just the update notifications, beyond just disabling auto-download for them.
