Unlike the other people who have posted definitions that are ridiculous, do not have substantial backing, or are simply mis-informed, I will give the complete definition of what "pwned" means.
1. The origins of "pwned" are debated but there are two possible sources:
a. A prominent quake player mis spelled "owned" and the new word "pwned" was adopted by people who thought it was "1337".
b. A warcraft map designer misspelled "owned" and thus people started using "pwned" instead.
The definitions are as follows:
In video games:
1. Completely annihilated or dominated.
2. Perfectly owned, meaning the other player did not do any damage.

Get the pwned mug.getting absolutely destroyed in some kind of competition or event, usually in a videogame like Halo. pwn is derived from "own" but the o is replaced with a p, whiched is supposed to represent a tongue sticking out, therefore forming the word "pwn". I pwn noobs all day. but back to the uber part, uber is a synonym for "super", but it usually has a negative connotation.
