As apposed to what is apearently common belief, newb is actually very different from N00b. A noob or n00b is someone who asks stupid questions, to annoy others, or knowingly uses bad spelling/grammar in a *literate thread*. They also usually spam quite often. (online, not e-mails.)

a newb or newbie is someone who is new to something, as the word implies.
for n00b:

Get the n00b mug.
A n00b is someone who is either new to the PC gaming community or just has no skill. They usually blame their lack of skill and/or intelligence on things like lag, hackers, dirt on their screen, ect.
n00b:"if W makes me go forward will S make me go backwards?"
good gamer:"omg that guy is such a n00b, lets go pwn him."

o.O A lot of people think that n00bs are people who can spell and don't play much, but I think that a n00b is a really, REALLY annoying person who speaks in some unknown, fractured form of chatspeak and spams non-stop because they are total retards. =
Normal Person: Hi
n00b: Hy dud u ce tart dewd hee gawt so ttly pwned en hee sux

((For those who couldn't understand my attempt at n00bs-speak (me being not a n00b and all) I have provided a translation))

Translation:
n00b: Hi dude, you see that dude he got so totally owned and he sucks.

When you want to say noob, but you want to act "cool". So you add memes in hopes people will like you.
Ugh, people can be such n00bs!

One who is not very good at whatever they play, despite their age. A n00b could be someone who visits a site/plays a video game often and does not know how to use a certain thing, one who joined recently and refuses to listen to advice, or one who types in an annoying way, throws tantrums and gloats. Some spam chain mail.
xXawesomeUSERNAMEXx: Stop spamming, you n00b. You cost us the level because me and my friends couldn't strategize!
69notthen00b69: I AM NOT A N00B I DIDN'T WANT TO BE KILLED BY TEDDY FUCK YOU ALL BITCHES I AM JUST SMARTER THAN YOU JEALOUS FAGS ALSO HOW THE FUCK DO YOU BASTARDS SHOOT
ThEaLmIgHtYaDmIn: You can shoot opponents by pressing the space bar.

ThEaLmIgHtYaDmIn: I am sorry, sir, but your account has been suspended for violating the ToS.
