It uses the computational power of your GPU to solve "blocks" in the algorithm of mathy science stuff. You receive the bitcoins as a reward for solving the blocks. Almost everyone probably uses a pool so the bitcoin reward can be quite small once divided among all the miners... so like 0.0001 per block. I think larger pools solve about a block every 10 minutes.
