Ehud,
Go back to English class. "It's" is a contraction of either "it is" or "it has". "Its" is the third person possessive. The referenced sentence uses "it's" as a contraction of "it has" and is correctly spelled in the message.

I generally try not to pick on people for English flaws unless they're repeated (and frequent)... But anyway, if Ehud's native language is Hebrew, the difficulty may be that Hebrew doesn't really have a present tense form of the verb 'to be'.
