A person who is clueless, misinformed or helplessly stupid. To be a noob requires one to be beyond help in any situation, and acting like one doesn't know, understand or comprehend what is going on. Being ignorant to the situation one is in and blundering about openly and embarrasingly is essential to n00bness.
The word "noob" originates from mortal kombat, from a playable character by the name Noob Saibot, who was actually Sub-Zero risen from the grave. The character was pretty poorly executed on the top of another character in the game, and was occasionally refered to erroneously as kano by the game amongst other bugs.
In the progress of time Noob became to mean Newbie because of the homonymic nature of the two words.

George W. Bush is such a n00b.
An embarrasing failure usually concern a Noob in the wrong place at the wrong time.

a.k.a. n00b, nub
Origin:
Derives from newb or newbie, origainally referring to new or unexperienced participants of online communities, at first specifically MMORPGs, later also forums and other communities. While "newb" and "newbie" remained neutral, "noob" developed a negitive connotation.
Useage:
a) incompetent online community participant (in some MMORPGs: gimp). Refers to participants who do not live up to general expectation.
b) immature online community participant. Typical characteristics of noobs in this sense are:
- excessive use of l33tsp33k (although noobs are becoming increasingly aware that this marks them as noobs)
- deliberate misspelling and supposed typos
- excessive use of online vocabulary and acronyms (rofl, omg, noob (in the former sense or the word), ffs, wtf, ftw, pwned, etc.)
- uncontroled urge to brag
- lack of sense of solidarity, apparent through unhelpful and often rude or deliberately annoying behaviour
- childish behaviour in gerneral
