Nabaztag can’t make RFID cool, has to file for bankruptcy

We always knew that any company courageous enough to take a technology designed to help mega-corps monitor their inventory levels and make it mainstream would face an uphill battle, but we never envisioned Nabaztag caving entirely to the pressure. If a snippet in a recent issue of Les Echos (a French financial paper) is to be believed, the creator of the rabbit-inspired Violet RFID Mirror has filed for bankruptcy, giving any company interested in keeping the brand alive until September 4th to toss out a cash infusion. Not like we’re looking at you, Mr. VC, but we’re definitely hoping to not be sobbing about this in just under a month. Tick, tock.

First made famous by Marty McFly in Back to the longer term Part II, the product became something of Hollywood lore when the movie's director, Robert Zemeckis, insisted the contraption was real.
