Is there a way to hide the subject field of messages which appear in the top right corner of the screen when I receive an iMessage on my computer? I know there is a way to hide it on messages that come to my iPhone. Is there a way to do the same on Mac OS X?

I'm afraid that's not possible in the current iOS.
But there are a few work-arounds:
- You can define a specific vibrating tone for that specific contact person which will do almost nothing (unlike the default long and hard vibrating)
- or you can disable vibrating when you enter Silent Mode and when you start having this rapid-fire conversation, just switch your iPhone to silent mode and no vibrating will happen!
An update for Mac OS X 10.9 (Mavericks). You can turn on Do Not Disturb in Notification Centre to mute notifications:
You can show Notification Centre by clicking on the three-horizontal-lines icon on the far-right of the menubar, or perhaps by doing a two-finger swipe from the right edge of your trackpad (if this gesture is enabled in System Preferences -> Trackpad -> More Gestures). Then swipe up to reveal the 'Do Not Disturb' toggle (which is hidden at the top of the notification centre panel).
Update: I've also just discovered that you can option-click on the Notification centre menubar icon to toggle Do Not Disturb mode on and off.

I'm not sure what you mean for sure, but take a look under System Preferences → Notifications as you might find your answer here.
