Honestly the Wired quote is a much better summary and gets right to the point.

"Many public locations now offer USB charging stations, but it's a trivial task to modify one of these to allow an attacker to access your data. Int3.cc's device cuts off access to the data transfer pins on the USB port, while still permitting access to the power supply."

Way too many words on that page before just getting to the damned point.
