The New York Times has hired Farhad Manjoo, a technology columnist at The Wall Street Journal, to write the “State of the Art” technology column that reviews new software and devices.

Mr. Manjoo, 35, will succeed David Pogue, who left The Times in October after 13 years to create a new consumer-focused technology site for Yahoo, which he unveiled this month at the International CES in Las Vegas.
