URL-finder using a lot of memory
- (NSString *)stringForResultEventDescriptor:(NSAppleEventDescriptor *)resultEventDescriptor
{
    NSString *result = nil;

    if (resultEventDescriptor) {
        if ([resultEventDescriptor descriptorType] != kAENullEvent) {
            if ([resultEventDescriptor descriptorType] == kTXNUnicodeTextData) {
                result = [resultEventDescriptor stringValue];
            }
        }
    }
    return result;
}


This method can be rewritten far more simply:

- (NSString *)stringForResultEventDescriptor:(NSAppleEventDescriptor *)resultEventDescriptor {
    return (resultEventDescriptor.descriptorType == kTXNUnicodeTextData) ? resultEventDescriptor.stringValue : nil;
}




- (void)collect{
    [self runWithEvent];
}


This method seems entirely unnecessary.  Why doesn't the timer just call runWithEvent directly?
