Re: what are Ubertubes
Uber is actually "Ueber" - the 'e' after the U is placed there instead of the two dots on top (Umlaut) when typing on an English language keyboard.
Über is how it is really spelled It literally means "over" as in something that above another thing, either physically above, or above socially, or hierarchically. In common English usage it can be compared to "super".

Re: what are Ubertubes
Oh the Team Fortress medic jokes that will ensue...
On topic, Uber is a cognate of the Latin word for super and Greek word for the prefix hyper, hence the varying usage. It's not really a word in english, at least I don't believe so.
