Do you have free will? And if so, can I have some?

I'm a technologist at heart with a passion for emerging products and early stage companies. Simple timing put me in the right place at the right time and gave me several opportunities to help shape the Internet during its formative years. My education came via hands-on product development, a stint at NYU and side-by-side work with some of the most innovative minds in software.

Ahhhh, the constant battle between science and the "unknown". I read this, and from top to bottom you can eliminate all the big words, all the colorful use of adjectives, and the scientific ploys..
What you have left is "choice" and "speculation".
Look at this financially...if science could truly measure with accuracy (not exactness) at a high, yet varying percentage, what stock a particular investor was going to purchase on any given day, wouldn't one of these proud scientists have detemined it by now?
The analogy to eating cake is another good one. White cake or chocolate...?? Hell, I love carrot cake...so whose keeping track?
Free will, "choice" is simple...and at the same time, never exactly predictable. We make choices every second of every day, leaving no time for science to keep up. If each and everyone of our choices are traceable by some spectrum of physics, I "choose", and leverage my free will, not to want, to know.
