A comment on No More Excuses: Lazy Load Your Images.
Lazy-loading sucks for anyone whose connection is not stable or always on.
It also sucks for offlining content you want to read later and archiving.
It's also incompatible with many older browsers, not that anyone seems to care about that.
It's also incompatible with nojs browsers, so most of the images on this blog are white space or blurry preloaders.
Even if everything is working perfectly, the user will see distracting movement as they scroll down the page.
Here is a quick demonstration: http://youtu.be/watch?v=aGy9IL0qtw4
