Comment(by dtauerbach):

 Wired uses jquery-based lazy-loading of images
 (http://www.appelsiini.net/projects/lazyload), which appears to load a
 tiny 1x1 pixel first, later replacing it with the real image when the user
 scrolls by (e.g. <img src="/images/1x1.trans.gif" data-lazy-
 src="http://www.wired.com/images_blogs/gadgetlab/2012/12/maps_bg.jpg"
 alt="blunder down under" />). The issue is that the 1x1 pixel is being
 rewritten by the Conde Nast ruleset (in the above example:
 https://secure.wired.com/images/1x1.trans.gif). This seems to break lazy-
 loading. Since the images will load over HTTP anyway, I think disabling
 the part of the ruleset responsible for the image rewrites is an
 acceptable solution.
