By: Jay Yarow | Business Insider

The New York Times recently hired former Slate (and former Wall Street Journal) technology columnist Farhad Manjoo.

In his first column for the New York Times, Manjoo told readers to buy Apple's hardware products (iPhones/iPads/Macs), use Google's services (search/Gmail/Maps), and to buy media from Amazon (movies, books, music). He also mentioned Dropbox as the best storage service.
