I just discovered a little hidden feature about the new notifications in Mavericks I thought I'd relay
I like the notifications feature but I often find a notification obscures things (e.g. tabs, buttons) and I need to wait an excruciating 5 seconds for it to disappear before I can click what's underneath well not anymore! It's possible to get rid of a notification as soon as it appears by clicking it and dragging ('throwing') it off-screen. If you're a touchpad user you can also swipe it away! Neat.
