Rant about Software Updates in Mountain Lion

OK these new software updates that pop up as reminders in the upper left hand corner are driving me crazy!! Even after clearing my notifications they still pop up a few minutes later....look I dont freaking care to update AirAttack right now!! leave me alone!!! Please tell me theres a way to make this go away

Thanks!

Doesn't the notification go away after a few seconds?

Are you aware that you can turn notifications off (either entirely or just for a set period of time)?

no they dont go away until i swipe them away....its in the upper right corner.....if I turn them off I'll never see new imessages or important OS X updates

Alas you cannot have it both ways. Either important OS X updates or turn it off.

ugh....hate this

That's odd. Mine dismiss automatically after a moment or two.

I'm not running ML anymore, but I could have sworn that there was a way to turn individual notifications on and off? Why not just access OS X updates via the Apple icon if that is the case?

Yeah, something odd is up there.
